Written by the duo themselves, whilst it has been produced by Logan Mader, “When Does Heartbreak Go Home” is a poignant ballad that captures the emotional aftermath of betrayal and the relentless search for peace. The song’s delicate yet powerful arrangement weaves together ethereal strings and striking instrumentals, creating a cinematic soundscape that mirrors the depth of the lyrics.
Alison Freed’s evocative vocals bring the weight of heartache to the forefront, resonating with anyone who has ever felt lost in their own thoughts, desperate for relief from pain. Transforming the pop-rock ballad with potential inspiration from the likes of Avril Lavigne and Stevie Nicks, Royal She hits the mark and takes it to a whole new level with this latest single.
Alison Freed and Alexandria Reyes, the powerhouse musicians behind Royal She, have made a name for themselves with their genre-blending sound that fuses rock, hip-hop, pop, and electronic elements.

Now, they are gearing up for their most ambitious project yet, with “Befores and Afters” produced by Logan Mader (known for his work with Five Finger Death Punch and Soulfly) and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge.
