Always take care of yourself first. We aren’t going anywhere

The beginning of this gave me so much anxiety cause I dunno what I would do with out yall. You two have been such a blessing in my life these past 10 years. So glad yall decided to take a step back and work on yourselves so we could get a better version of the amazing humans you are

Only in God does life have meaning and true pleasure. Without him nothing satisfies , but with him we find satisfaction and enjoyment . True pleasure comes only when we acknowledge and revere God.

We appreciate you being so completely honest & open with us. You can't be happy as a duo if you aren't happy as individuals. Incredibly thankful you worked things out & will continue to release music as well as remain friends, which is most important. 💙

So glad you’ve both been doing better, and are willing to open up more about what’s gone on the last few years. I’m happy to see the growth you’ve both had over the years as a band, and as people in general. Makes me proud to be a fan this last decade, and I can’t wait to hear the new music, and to continue to see you grow even more. Here’s to the next great musical era of Dan + Shay! 🫶🏼💙

It goes to show you that no matter who you are and what success you have, we're all the same. We all need to be loved, all need hope, and all need a friend that sticks closer than a brother. That kind of hope can be found only in the one who created us and made us for worship.

Oh my gosh… 😢hearing this was bringing me back to when Rascal Flatts cancelled their Farewell Tour. I had VIP and front row tickets to that show only to find out I would never get the chance to see them again (together anyways). This brought me to tears hearing the struggles you’ve both been through and sacrifices you’ve made to keep this amazing thing you have together going. You seriously have no idea how much you mean to us fans! Your music has touched so many people from all walks of life all around the WORLD! I know this might feel like such a huge responsibility and sometimes even a burden to bear, but please never forget to take time for yourselves, your health and your loved ones! Sure we your fans matter, but so do YOU! Some of us would be lost without the healing magic your music does for us! You guys are sooo very loved and I absolutely cannot wait to see you on August 17th in 🇨🇦Niagara Falls! (I’ll be screaming and singing my heart out with you from the 4th row! 💕) Missed out on front row cause I waited too long as I didn’t know how I was gonna get there lol. But I’ve been waiting to see you guys forever and I’m finally healthy enough to do so! I can’t wait!!! It’s gonna be my first Dan & Shay concert…. And definitely NOT the last, as long as you keep doing what you do! Hopefully next time a stop in Toronto lol a little closer to travel! 😊 Sending so much Canadian love your way!!! **HUGS**

Thank you for coming back together and sharing your story.

I think sometimes we forget that they are real people with real feelings! This is a great reminder! We love you guys!!

So glad that you guys talked to one another and were honest with one another. Taking care of yourselves is soo very important. Keep doing what you are doing. Love you guys.

I am so glad you guys made this raw video, it shows how intense the industry can be. You guys have so many fans like myself that have listened to your music since day 1 and will forever support you guys. Always take care of yourself first. With that being said I can’t wait until July 14th! 🎉

I remember when you guys met back in 2013. I’ll never forget sitting in the Starbucks parking lot in on Broadway in Shay’s Jeep when you and Dan recorded your first album! It was magic and it’s great to see you guys reconnect and bring back the same passion that started it all!

One of the best live concerts I’ve ever seen. Sort it out lads and keep that music coming👌

So glad that you’ve both taken the time to appreciate your families and get right with yourself. Thank you for showing us this vulnerable conversation. I have loved your music from the beginning and will always continue listening to you

This is genuinely so inspiring. Shows what true friendship is!!! I’m so grateful for you both and your music. Thanks for sharing with us!!!! Love you both ❤

You two are such a dynamic duo and such an inspiration to all of us, your fans. Thank you so much for ALL you have given to us, all the beautiul amazing music you have shared, your genuine talent and passion for all you do. Thank you for being raw and real and letting us in. Can't wait to see what the future holds and for all the new music you will bring.

Look after yourselves. It's so important 🥰

@dan+shay, WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!! Always Have, and we Always Will. Your Family, Fans, Friends, and Loved ones will be here no matter what. And never stop making music you guys are too talented. We’re not going anywhere💖💖💖💖

Almost all creators hit bumps- just keep DRIVING! We will support you & your music! 🎸🎶

Dan+ Shay God Bless u guys ur music moved me 24/7

As a musician myself and a member of a touring acoustic duo for 9 years, I can totally relate. The pressures and exhaustion of the business can cause one to hate music and everything and everyone related to it. I'm so glad you guys worked it out and rediscovered why you became musical partners to begin with.

You always have to take time for yourself; you can’t pour from an empty cup. I absolutely love your music and I am so glad y’all were able to talk it out and get through the lows. ❤

This made me tear up. I feel like I've grown up with you two. I've been to 2 concerts, walked up and down the aisle to your songs, and whatever mood I'm in I know there's a song of yours I can go to for comfort. I'm happy y'all were able to step back and see what matters most. God bless ❤️

Good friends are easy to find. But a brothers bond? That’s sacred. You two are the definition of a brothers bond.

Please do the world a favor and continue your beautiful music! Glad you both are in such a good place!

Im 27 years old, Covid changed me in big ways, when Dan mentioned the drinking all the time , that hit me, unfortunately alcoholism runs in my family, so i definitely understand what its like. You guys have been my all time favorite band since i first listened to you in 2013/2014. I get so pumped when i hear a new song/album is coming from you guys. I have every single album so far. You guys are the best and i cant wait to see what ur future holds. Take care guys

We love you guys!! Your mental health comes first. Always.

Saw this pop up and almost had a melt down - glad things are getting better for you both. Health and happiness comes first and your fans will always be right beside you. Never forget that!! Cannot wait to see what the future brings, looking forward to it! A road traveled is not always easy, it has many obstacles & ups and downs - that’s what will bring you closer together and stronger in the end. As I just celebrated my 6th wedding anniversary on July 7th, my husband and I were just thinking about you guys, as our wedding song is, From the Ground Up. We have plans to see you in CT in August, can’t wait!!! Love you guys!!! You are both AMAZING 💜 wishing you all the best 🥰

Always always take care of yourself, your families. Your fans will always be here for you when you get back. Your music will always be inspiring and will always being playing on a consistent loop! We love you so much, Dan + Shay! 🩷🩷

I have loved your music since I was in middle school. I am so happy for you both staying with each other and continuing not only your friendship but the band. Love you both, and I cannot wait to see where the road takes you.

This made me 😢brutal raw honesty. Thank you for sharing “real life” & may we all learn each day what’s really important. Hold onto it & Drive together into what this 1 life has to bring. We only get 1 !!!

We love you. We support you. We will always welcome you back.

The brutal honesty and the bond that you both have is surmountable. We need you both. Love you 😘💋💝

Love it, guys!! Spot on for full time RV life now...

Proud of you guys for knowing what you needed to do to reassess, take a break, take care of yourselves, and do what is best for you and your families. Sending love and prayers.

Love you guys. Your songs helped me through the darkest days of my life. I want to hear new music, but most importantly I want you to take of yourselves.❤

Mental health matters especially when mental health starts popping up. I’m proud of you guys for taking a step back and reevaluating your goals and expectations for not only the band but for each other. I would have been so devastated to hear you guys split. You two and your families have been a huge motivating factor for me, personally. Thank you for wanting to still share your amazing gifts with us. Thank you for being here. I’m so glad you exist 💜

Don't you guys ever, ever, ever, break up. You make beautiful music together. I love you both!

You two “together” are amazing! You compliment each other so much. Fight the good fight and know that communication is key. Blessings to you and please continue to touch lives because you are sooo loved for doing that. ✝️🙏🏻

If y’all didn’t meet together again, everyone would have no music to listen to❤❤❤

I’ve loved you guys since you started. I go see you guys every time you come to dallas. I knew something was going on and don’t blame you guys for taking time for yourself, the family, and the band. You can’t make us happy and be miserable yourselves at the same time. Your menta, emotional, and physical health is important. Believe me I understand as I’m focusing on mine as well.

Dan and Shay always remember that mental health and your families and friendship should always come first. Sometimes life can be tough and rough but you always need to remember who you are over all those other things. My wife and I absolutely love you guys and your music. You're a big reason we fell in love in the first place. We've seen you guys at least four times. At Crawford County PA fair at House of Blues In Cleveland and at Blossom Music Center numerous times. Keep up the great work and music and know that we are definitely fans for life!!!

No matter what, ALWAYS take care of yourself FIRST. Your fans will ALWAYS be here behind you waiting. We love you and can’t wait to hear the new music and see you on tour again. ❤

Sometimes what breaks us apart brings us back together …that much stronger! Yay Dan and Shay!

I love you guys so much individually and together. You two have really made such a mark on my life the past decade the way no other artists have, and no matter what the future holds I will always be so grateful for that alone. Incredibly proud of you two for taking the time to heal and reset the important parts of your lives ♥️♥️

Love you both!! Take care of yourselves and you’ll be the best version of you!

Omg this right here. 😢 The fact that you both are willing to share something so personal with each other and the public shows how important we’re all starting to take mental health. Thank you for opening up and breaking down the stigma of the importance in living a purposeful and present life, especially from a male perspective.

I love the rawnness and vulnerability in this. I absolutely do not know how I would have gotten through the last 10 years without you guys. You guys ended up saving my life in so many ways, and I could never express my gratitude and love in a way you guys could understand. Thank you for loving each other enough to take that step back and realize that something wasn't right in time to save what is one of the most amazing miracles in the world: your craft and your coming together. I love you guys so much and miss your hugs ans friendship every day! 💙

Thank you for sharing this. If you don't write a song specifically about THIS, you'll have missed one of the biggest opportunities. T

Stepping back & a reset is always needed. It helps. So much appreciated in informing what’s going on you really didn’t have to but it makes it more closer to understand & personal. And knowing we all struggle the same and we are not alone. You both are not alone. Glad the clarity & peace for you both we appreciate in all you do in making music. May God fill you up always & again! Yayy!! Dan +Shay !!!

Thank you for sharing this with your fans. We ❤ you!

Take "The Drive" to clear your mind and always cherish "Precious Time' with each other and family and friends which is what you have when the game fades away! Maybe write a song about "The Drive" ... Your loyal fans will always stand by both of you because there is no Dan without Shay and ni Shay without Dan.... remember har far you have come from "The Ground Up" !! ❤

Thank you both for being honest and open with us!! Cannot wait for another album; but this is really inspiring ~ need to be happy with yourself first before you can appreciate stuff happening around you. So grateful for you both!

Thank you for being so honest and raw with your fans. We hear your heart and your truth in every lyric. Find your happiness even if it is constantly changing and reevaluating what it is that makes you happy. Be true to you. We will be fans whether you make new music or not, whether we hear you live or not, as long as you stay humble and true to yourselves.

I was waiting for that. From brazil

Oh my goodness, I sensed something was wrong but boy am I glad you didn't call it quits. I've missed you. We've missed you.

You guys, you have been very very inspiring for my life. One day I want to be a country artist. It's okay, you two are the best band ever and I hope you keep making music for me and my family to enjoy. Thank you very much for making me and my whole family happy.

I cried at this. Ive been here since day one. I love yall. God be with you both.

We will always be here for you and your families. We love, respect, and appreciate you 💜 Glad you are taking care of yourselves. We want you and your music around for as long as God willing.

Love you guys thank you for opening up.

I don't have the words to express how this video made me feel other than thank God you both are happy and worked on yourself and family first to better the music you both produce together. Love you both and keep staying to to yourselves ❤

You make us so happy with your music but always remember to take care of yourself first ! Just like on a plane! Put your oxygen on first! ❤

If you guys ever break up I will be heartbroken, y’all are so genuine and deserve everything good that comes your way 🩷 happy you felt like sharing this part of your lives with us, I’m sure it wasn’t easy. Looking forward to the new album!! Love y’all

The vulnerability in this video is unreal. I am so proud of you guys and so thankful you two took the low points and viewed them as a new outlook on life. Your music has seriously been life changing to me. Love you guys forever.❤

Awe man 😢😊❤ that's so awesome

You two have always been so honest with all if us fans. Take care of yourselves first

I listen to your music so much that I don’t spend time on myself😂😂😂

So happy to hear that ya'll are staying together but especially happy to hear that you took time to work on your mental health and reconnect. Your fans love you and will always be here waiting while you take the breaks that you both need. Thank you for sharing with us your journey.

I agree guys don't pin your dreams and hopes on the destination, and don't forget to enjoy the journey. It's good to have your brothers back. I bet you've got some great stories to tell 😊🙏

I'm so proud of you both for telling your fans about what's been going on that past few years lots of love -Jessika❤❤

Always take care of y’all i will always be here to cheer y’all on I love u guys ❤❤

We all love you two so very much! I’m so glad y’all took a step back and had those talks and had that time to rest and reset. No matter what you’ll always have us as fans, your music heals so many - including yourselves it sounds like. Always take care of you first, we’ll always be here when you get back❤️

I’m bawling. I love you guys. I am thankful to have been blessed with your music. You got me through a breakup and losing my son. I can’t wait for the music that is going to come out of this! Thank you for sharing!

❤ I love you guys God bless you and family always

You guys are the best. We are always here. Take care and love yourselves and your families. Can wait to see what you do next

Y'all had me nervous there for a bit. But I completely understand needing to take a break. As someone that has been through watching my favorite band break up from touring too much, I'm glad you are taking time for yourselves.

I appreciate the two of you so much more for sharing this video & how you two have been feeling. Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing. God bless you. ❤❤❤

You guys are a true inspiration. Your music is so heart warming. Keep giving us your amazing music and look after yourselves and your families ❤

I only found y'all in 2018 and I cannot imagine a life where y'all don't make music. Together or not I love y'all but especially together.

I love this, thank you for sharing! Glad you guys worked your stuff individually and together and I’m so excited for what’s going!
