Reboot version
In March 2019, Brooks & Dunn released a re-recorded version of "My Next Broken Heart", featuring neotraditional country artist Jon Pardi. The track was the third to be released from Brooks & Dunn's studio album, Reboot. Whereas several of the guest vocalist on Reboot worked with Brooks & Dunn to update the songs they were appearing on, Pardi was "adamant" about not changing a single thing about "My Next Broken Heart" as he was such a big fan of the original version.[6]
