Dan + Shay are opening up about a bump in their partnership. In a new YouTube video, the country duo, which is comprised of Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney, revealed that they nearly called it quits.In 2021, Smyers and Mooney were at the top of their career.

They won a GRAMMY Award and wrapped up their headlining , but neither Smyers nor Mooney was happy.«I was in the lowest low of my entire life,» Smyers recalled. «Came off the road and I was like, 'Man, I f**king hate music.

I'm ready to quit.'»«I could feel the separation and I think there was little things between you and I that we never talked about and it was affecting everything, not just our band, our marriages, everything,» Mooney, who's married to Hannah Billingsley, agreed. «I was in a really dark place.»The pair didn't speak for four months and nearly ended their band as they took the time to «to step back and just assess» where things stood, Smyers said.«For me, we didn't ever take time to be able to appreciate winning a GRAMMY or all these things, because it was just happening so fast,» Mooney said. "… I think about all those things that we did and all the decisions that I made, and of course I wish I would've been more present.

I wish I would've hung out with you more. I was just in this very feeling sorry for myself place and not wanting to take responsibility for anything."«I think that's a lot of the reason why I was unhappy during our arena tour.
