It’s a new chapter for Dan + Shay, and a big one. Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney, who make up the award-winning duo, announce the release of Bigger Houses, their first new album since Good Things came out in 2021. The record, available on September 15, includes their brand-new single, “Save Me The Trouble,” out now.

“Some of our records have been more pop- or hip-hop/R&B-infused, but on this record, I wanted to make tracks that we could hop up at any bar anywhere with our live band and play the songs as they were recorded,” Smyers says. “Ultimately, this music, this whole album is something that I’ll be able to look back on in a decade or two and be really proud of the way it turned out.”

Smyers wrote all but one of the 11 songs on Bigger Houses, with Mooney joining him in penning seven of those, including “Save Me The Trouble.” The song,” Mooney says, is a good indication of what fans can expect from the rest of the record.

“This is something new, this is something fresh,” Mooney tells Audacy. “Obviously we wanted this new project to be something we knew our fans would love. We’ve been doing this for ten years now, and I feel like we’ve got a really great relationship with our fans, and we know what they like, and what some people don’t like. I feel like this song is everything that our fans love, but also pushes the boundaries a little bit.”

Bigger Houses is Dan + Shay’s fifth studio album, and perhaps their most personal, both for them and their fans.

“I hope that they feel, out of everything, that it is genuine, and that every song on this new project came from a very genuine place, somewhere that we’ve been, or that we are,” Mooney says of what they want their fans to take away from their new set of tunes. “It marks this new era of Dan + Shay, and I think they can feel that genuine nature of what this is.”

Dan + Shay recently opened up about the struggles they went through in 2022, which included not speaking for four months. The two emerged from that season stronger than ever, both musically and personally, which they believe will come out in all of the songs on Bigger Houses.

“This is the very first song off of the new project, which I feel like marks a new era,” says Mooney. “It’s a new way of going about our lives and our career, which I’m very excited about. This will always be a very special first thing out in the world.”
