About this song
I Was Dying to Feel Better is a JD Steel single released on 17 August 2026, running 4 minutes 5 seconds. The act calls it dark country trap, and its YouTube upload frames it as a song about addiction and recovery, summed up in the line that a wound cannot heal while bourbon keeps being poured through it; the description directs listeners to the free, confidential SAMHSA helpline in the US. With more than 14,000 views by the end of September 2026, it drew the larger audience of the two singles JD Steel issued that day. Deezer labels the release AI-generated content, detected as made with the use of AI. It was self-released through DistroKid.
