Drew Schueler’s “Burden” Turns Anxiety Into an Anthem of Unwavering Love

In a world where conversations around mental health are no longer optional but essential, Drew Schueler’s Burden arrives as both a love song and a lifeline. Written for his wife, the Nashville-based artist offers a tender yet powerful reminder that true connection means showing up not just in the glow of the good days but in the storm of the hard ones. With polished vocals and a melodic sensibility that leans on the best of modern pop, Schueler manages to turn vulnerability into something quietly anthemic.

The production is sleek and radio-ready, but it’s the songwriting that makes Burden hit deeper than most love ballads. Instead of shying away from anxiety’s weight, Schueler leans into it—his voice carrying the reassurance of someone willing to shoulder the heaviness alongside his partner. The track finds its strength in restraint; rather than swelling into a dramatic climax, it lingers in intimacy, like a hand reaching out in the dark.

Schueler has been steadily carving out his place in Music City as an artist, writer, and producer to watch. With his recent grand prize win at the NSAI Song Contest and a reputation for delivering consistent, high-caliber releases, Burden feels like another step toward what’s shaping up to be a breakout year. It’s the kind of song that doesn’t just get stuck in your head—it stays in your chest, reminding you of the quiet power in being present for the people you love.
