Following the success of her rodeo-themed single "8 Seconds," multi-talented Australian artist JD Reynolds is back with her newest release, "A Little Piece of Your Heart." The emotionally raw and beautifully put together single possesses a soothing melody intertwined with passionately crafted lyrics. We have a special first look at the accompanying music video, and got to chat with JD about her inspiration and the writing and filming process.

Her inspiration for "A Little Piece of Your Heart" was simple: Love. "We all dream about finding our forever person, doing life together in your own way in your own time. That is the essence of 'A Little Piece of Your Heart,'" she explains. "Young love that defies the odds, ignores outside noise and grows in love and life together, knowing from a young age that true love can lead the way and conquer all obstacles, finding true happiness, your way, together, forever."

While surfing one day, various thoughts about life and love floating through her head. While sitting on the beach, lost in contemplation, she began reminiscing about an ex-boyfriend with whom she had a rare, spiritual connection. "I thought about the life we could’ve had together. We never got our last chorus together, but we came close, and if it weren’t for outside noise, who knows. I wrote “A Little Piece of Your Heart” in a matter of minutes right then and there."

She continues, "I kept that moment in my head and my heart from the moment I stepped into the studio, and I am thankful that the feeling I had in my heart was captured so beautifully. That indescribable feeling was the sole inspiration for the music video. I wanted people to see the feeling, get lost in love and life, and get back in touch with the hopeless romantic that is in everyone." Some have it buried so deep they feel as though it’s lost, but it’s there, and I hope the music video unearths the romance in everyone."

Filmed at Forever Sunday, the video has a very personal element to JD. Her co-star, B, is JD’s childhood surf coach. When JD was a grommet (what Australian’s endearingly call children who surf) B took JD’s surfing to a new level, and thanks to B and ballet, she now surfs with a unique style and writes songs as she surfs. There is a rare comfort between them that makes the viewer feel comforted and relaxed, and also extraordinary chemistry, drawing the viewer into their world and touching a little piece of everyone’s heart as they watch a beautiful mini love story.

"A Little Piece of Your Heart" has gone #1 in Australia for three weeks in a row – a very exciting accomplishment for JD. Through all her successes, she remains humble and grateful for her fans. "I think of my fans, who all own a little piece of my heart. I carry them with me, I feel them right by my side on this incredible journey, and I sincerely thank them for being so incredible. 3 weeks at number one for this special song makes my heart fill with so much love and joy. And when fans tell me they have chosen this song to be their wedding song, I feel so honored that I am a little part of their beautiful day."
