Danish singer-songwriter Mike Andersen explores new territory with his latest single, "Don't Waste Your Time." It is the second song from his forthcoming 10th studio album, due to be released in September 2025. "Don't Waste Your Time" has modern beats and lush synths while retaining the emotional intimacy Andersen is recognized for.
Collaborating with award-winning producer Christian Ki, "Don't Waste Your Time" melds atmospheric, synth-driven textures with Andersen's outstanding guitar playing and genuine vocals. The outcome is filled with energy and grabs a fresh yet timeless twang inspired by The War on Drugs.
The song originated from a highly private episode in Andersen's life. Two years ago, he divorced, and as he says, "Divorce is all emotions at once." Through this tumultuous period, Andersen was influenced by second chances and the anxiety of making new beginnings, thus inspiring "Don't Waste Your Time." Combining the fragility required for healing and the crushing fear of losing another shot at love, the lyrics provide an honest and compassionate account of transformation.
The music video, filmed on a downtown Aarhus rooftop, is a metaphor for the song. Andersen is surrounded by the city skyline, bringing his candor and straightforwardness to light. In the music video, Andersen reveals his authentic, unrestrained voice and becomes a reflection of hope and clarity, which is a simple example of his journey.
"Don't Waste Your Time" is a bold step for Mike Andersen, pushing boundaries while maintaining the honesty and candor that have won him fans. As he continues to develop, this album is likely to be a true fusion of personal development and musical adventure.
