Zach McKenzie's new single, "Don't Dish It Out If You Can't Take It," is not just another heartbreak ballad but a blaring, soulful anthem of resilience and self-worth. Propelled by unfiltered emotion and a driving melody, McKenzie turns the tables on heartbreak, delivering the message that sometimes, getting away is the best revenge.
From the first note, McKenzie's signature vocals draw listeners in on a narrative of love lost and lessons learned. The lyrics hit home, pulling from the all-too-close-to-home pain of a breakup that feels blindsided. But rather than wallowing in sorrow, McKenzie channels that anguish into strength, stating simply that he's moving on, not looking back.
Its infectious energy sets "Don't Dish It Out If You Can't Take It" apart. It's the kind of song that begs you to roll the windows down, blast the volume, and sing along at the top of your lungs. The production mixes contemporary pop instincts with a classic soulful edge, letting McKenzie's vocals shine. Every lyric, every note, and every beat seems to throb with credulity and leave the fibers of the song behind.
This song is about empowerment. McKenzie also notices that sometimes, the best way to get over a breakup is to fly above it. "Don't Dish It Out If You Can't Take It" is an anthem for anyone who's had to walk away from something that was never supposed to last.
