Breakups don’t always have to be all doom and gloom, and Madisyn Gifford’s soulful and anthemic new single “Bare Minimum” is proof. With its building sound and empowering message, it’s just the thing to help you move on and find your power if your own heart is broken. “Bare Minimum is a song all about coming into your own after a breakup and realizing that you deserved better throughout the relationship,” Madisyn explained in a press release. “It acknowledges the pain and bitterness that often comes along with moving on while also exploring themes of empowerment throughout the track.”
