Alongside the song's release, Nate Smith has said in a statement that getting to work with Avril again is a "pinch me moment".

"Getting the chance to work with one of your all-time favorite singers twice is humbling and such a pinch me moment," he said. 

"Avril is an absolute powerhouse of a vocalist but equally as a human being. It’s such a joy working with her, and I feel like I’ve learned a lot in the process.

"As far as the song, 'Can You Die From A Broken Heart' is the epitome of what a heartbreak ballad should feel and sound like."

"The bridge is my favorite part of the song because it’s so epic with the soaring ohs and feels like it gives the slightest nod to 'I’m With You' which happens to be my favorite Avril song," he added.

"I think this song will touch hearts in a deep and meaningful way."

Avril also offered up a statement about her love affair with country music, and her creative relationship with Smith.

"I have always been a huge fan of country music since I was young, and I admire Nate’s work as an artist," says the Canadian music icon. 

"Earlier this year, we performed our version of 'Bulletproof' at the ACMs and since then I knew I wanted to do more with Nate because we had the best time.

"‘Can You Die from a Broken Heart’ is an intense ballad that I think will resonate deeply with people and leave a lasting emotional impact."

Alongside 'Bulletproof', Nate Smith's new album will also feature the previously released singles 'Fix What Your Didn’t Break', 'Wish I Never Felt', and his collaboration 'I Like It' with dance producer Alesso which has already amassed 120 million streams.

Smith will be in the middle of his 'Through The Smoke' headline tour when California Gold hits record shelves on 4th October 2024.
