Taylor Jules Sings of Betrayal Between Friends in Her Heartbreaking Ballad “Sage Advice”

In her new single, “Sage Advice,” Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Taylor Jules puts into words and melody the emptiness that comes when a friend walks away. Because some breakups aren’t romantic, but they still cut deep, especially when the friendship felt unbreakable.

The song feels like both a confession and an emotional release. It’s a stripped-down ballad led by a strong guitar presence, with production by Stefan Lit and Dylan Chambers that lets Taylor’s intense and powerful voice take center stage.

I compromise my sage advice
Just to keep you round
You owe me therapy and a buck or three
For dealing with you longer than anyone should
From calling me excessively to saying nothing now

From the opening lines, you know “Sage Advice” is a bold message from someone who gave everything to a friendship that ended up breaking them. The lyrics speak of unanswered calls, lost loyalty, and the silence that follows after you’ve poured your heart into being someone’s emotional support. When it all falls apart, there’s only one thought left: “Should’ve kept my sage advice.” And let’s be honest—we’ve all been there, ignoring red flags for the sake of love or loyalty.

In this track, Taylor doesn’t sugarcoat the pain, but she faces it head-on. She sings about anger, sadness, and feeling abandoned with raw honesty. Lines like “Guess that’s what ‘friend’ means to those who lie” hit straight to the point—no fluff, no metaphors.

“Sage Advice” is a solid step forward in Taylor Jules’ artistic journey. It shows her strength as a fearless storyteller who can turn deeply personal experiences into something universal. You hear it, and you instantly relate. Musically, emotionally, and lyrically, “Sage Advice” works. It’s a reminder to never second-guess your instincts again.
