Mike Andersen’s new single Don’t Waste Your Time is a powerful blend of emotion and modern production that lands with both subtlety and strength. It’s the second release from his upcoming tenth studio album, and it shows him exploring fresh sonic ground while keeping his deeply human songwriting intact.
Produced by Christian Ki, the track moves with a steady pulse, carried by lush synth layers, crisp beats, and Andersen’s unmistakable guitar tone. The music feels grounded and expansive all at once, drawing in listeners with its atmosphere and clarity. There’s a sense of forward motion throughout, with just the right amount of restraint.
The story behind the song adds to its weight. Written after Andersen’s divorce, Don’t Waste Your Time captures the messy reality of heartbreak, healing, and the quiet hope that follows. Rather than sinking into sadness, the track offers perspective — a reminder to stay open to what’s next, even when it’s uncertain.
The production is sharp but never flashy. Mads Andersen’s drumming lays a tight foundation, while Johannes Nørelykke and Simone Tang add tasteful touches that round out the sound without crowding it. The result is clean and confident, with emotional depth that doesn’t need to shout.
The rooftop video filmed in downtown Aarhus adds another layer, showing Andersen pouring his heart out against the open skyline. It fits the song perfectly. This one stuck with me after just a single listen. It’s honest, well-crafted, and quietly moving. Follow Mike Andersen on your favorite platforms and be sure to add Don’t Waste Your Time to your playlist.
