A Listener's Guide to David J's Country-Pop Catalog

If you've landed on David J's music through a SiriusXM spin, a TikTok use, a Spotify radio session, or a YouTube recommendation, this guide is the fastest way to figure out where to go next. David J is a Nashville-based country-pop singer-songwriter from Rotterdam, New York, signed to Sony Music Nashville in partnership with Ryan Tedder's Runner Music. The catalog below is the short list — the songs most new listeners ask about first.

Start with Lost My Heartbreak. It's one of the strongest streaming proof points in the catalog — a turning-point song about finally letting go of an old wound and waking up free. It became a quiet anchor in David J's streaming story and is still one of the most-discovered titles by new listeners.

Then go to Before You. This is the song that put David J in front of a new wave of country-pop listeners — a love song built on the idea that everything that came before the right person was just rehearsal. Backed by a polished official video and rotation on SiriusXM's country channels, it's one of the catalog's most-searched titles and a fan-favorite live opener.

If you found him through TikTok, you almost certainly heard After We Broke Up first. The Frawley collaboration became a viral moment, soundtracking thousands of post-breakup videos and pulling a brand-new audience into the catalog. It captures the specific country-pop ache of watching an ex thrive without you.

On YouTube and YouTube Music, the song that keeps finding new listeners is Because of You — a gratitude-leaning country-pop song about the person who quietly rebuilt you. It has a long discovery tail on YouTube's recommendation engine and continues to be a gateway into the broader catalog.

For the major-label era specifically, Commitment Issues is the title to know. It's the Sony Music Nashville / Runner Music era in a single song — a sharply written country-pop project about the pull between wanting something real and being terrified of it. The release drew MusicRow coverage and confirmed his position inside the major-label system.

Rest of Your Life is the kind of slow-burn country-pop song that ends up in 'new music to know' roundups — a forward-looking promise track that picked up coverage in Taste of Country's new-music orbit and remains a strong introduction for first-time listeners.

The current-era David J starts with Other Girls. It's the confident country-pop statement about choosing one person on purpose, and it's the song most new listeners arriving from his socials hear first. Pair it with Alone, the quieter side of the current release cycle — a late-night, honest song about the difference between being by yourself and being lonely.

Round it out with What If I'm In Love, a vulnerable, modern entry that feeds the same listeners who found him through Before You and Commitment Issues, and Built For Burning — the heavier, anthemic moment in the catalog, the song that earned a CBS6 hometown feature in the Capital Region.
