Wasted Love

Barnegat Light, New Jersey native Matt McAndrew has been writing songs in bands since he was a child. He decided whilst at high school that he was going to focus on a music career and graduated from University of the Arts in 2013. McAndrew released his debut solo album View of The Pines on March 1, 2014.

McAndrew's big break came about later in 2014 when he competed in season 7 of The Voice finishing as runner-up. His versions of "Take Me to Church," "The Blower's Daughter," "Make It Rain" and "Lost Stars" all charted in the Hot 100, the latter being a duet with his coach Adam Levine.

This was written in Toronto during October 2014 by Canadian singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk, Shimon Moore of the rock band Sick Puppies, and Nettwerk One Publishing writer Mike Fiorentino. It was decided it would be a good song for McAndrew to perform during The Voice finale. The song debuted at #14 in the Hot 100, the highest chart position achieved by one of the show's contestants to date.
