From the beginning Madilyn displayed deep care and concern for others. By as early as age seven, she was using songwriting as a way to express the joys and sorrows she saw people go through in life.
Madilyn knew she was onto something when a woman with tears brimming in her eyes approached her after hearing one of her songs. The woman was not only touched by her performance but amazed that Madilyn had written the song herself at such a young age. Her writing has developed and continues to connect with her audience in a special way. In Madilyn’s own words, “I hope my songs are relatable and are able to touch peoples’ hearts. My goal is to make people feel something when they listen.”
And Then There Was YouTube. Madilyn’s desire to reach more people with her music hit a wall almost right away. After all she comes from a very tiny town in northern Wisconsin. YouTube was a great resource and extended her audience.
After posting a few music videos with a close friend, Madilyn courageously uploaded her first solo video in the Fall of 2009. Her submission won a cover contest held by fellow YouTuber Kata Hay. That success was all the inspiration Madilyn needed to start her own channel. In November of the same year the Madilyn Bailey channel was launched.
Heart Attack
Madilyn Bailey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never said yes to the right guy
Never had trouble getting what I want
But when it comes to you I'm never good enough
When I don't care
I can play him like a Ken doll
Won't do my hair
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear high heels
Yes you, make me so nervous that I just can't hold your hand
You make me glow
But I cover up, won't let it show
So I'm putting my defenses up
Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
Never break a sweat for the other guys
When you come around I get paralyzed
And every time I try to be myself
It comes out wrong like a cry for help
It's just not fair
Brings more trouble than it all is worth
I gasp for air
It feels so good, but you know it hurts
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear perfume
For you, make me so nervous that I just can't hold your hand
You make me glow
But I cover up, won't let it show
So I'm putting my defenses up
Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
The feelings got lost in my lungs
They're burning, I'd rather be numb
And there's no one else to blame
So scared I'll take off and run
I'm flying too close to the sun
And I'll burst into flames
You make me glow
But I cover up, won't let it show
So I'm putting my defenses up
Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
Heart attack
Heart...
The lyrics of Madilyn Bailey's "Heart Attack" speak of the struggle to open oneself up to love and the fear of being hurt. The singer confesses that she has never put her love on the line, never said yes to the right guy, and has never had trouble getting what she wants except when it comes to the person she's singing to. The singer admits to being able to manipulate her love interests when she doesn't care. However, when it comes to this person, she is paralyzed and can't be herself.
The singer expresses the turmoil she feels when she is around the person she likes, feeling as though it's not fair that he brings her trouble, but she cannot help that she's drawn to him. She covers up her feelings, not wanting to show vulnerability, and puts her defenses up, afraid of falling in love. She concludes by admitting that the feelings of love "got lost in my lungs" and that she's too scared to take the risk of being hurt.

Line by Line Meaning
Never put my love out on the line
I have never been vulnerable and open with my love for someone
Never said yes to the right guy
I have not been able to commit to someone who would be good for me
Never had trouble getting what I want
I am used to getting what I want in life
But when it comes to you I'm never good enough
I feel insecure and inadequate when it comes to you
When I don't care
When I am not emotionally invested
I can play him like a Ken doll
I can control and manipulate him like a toy
Won't do my hair
I do not feel the need to make an effort to impress him
Then make him bounce like a basketball
Then I can easily discard him when I am done playing
But you make me wanna act like a girl
You make me want to embrace my feminine side
Paint my nails and wear high heels
I feel the need to look my best and impress you
Yes you, make me so nervous that I just can't hold your hand
I am so nervous and anxious around you that I cannot even hold your hand
You make me glow
You make me feel happy and beautiful
But I cover up, won't let it show
I try to hide my feelings
So I'm putting my defenses up
I am trying to protect myself from getting hurt
Cause I don't wanna fall in love
I am afraid of falling in love with you
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
The idea of falling in love with you is so overwhelming that I feel like I would have a heart attack
Never break a sweat for the other guys
I have never been willing to put in effort for other guys
When you come around I get paralyzed
I become frozen and unable to act like myself when you are near
And every time I try to be myself
I struggle to be my true self around you
It comes out wrong like a cry for help
My attempts at being myself come across as desperate and needy
It's just not fair
It is unfair how much power you have over me
Brings more trouble than it all is worth
The emotional turmoil caused by my feelings for you is too much to handle
I gasp for air
I feel suffocated and overwhelmed
It feels so good, but you know it hurts
Being around you feels amazing, but it also hurts me emotionally
The feelings got lost in my lungs
The emotions I feel are heavy and suffocating
They're burning, I'd rather be numb
My emotions are overwhelming and painful, and I wish I did not have to feel them
And there's no one else to blame
I cannot blame anyone else for my feelings
So scared I'll take off and run
I am afraid that my feelings will cause me to run away from you
I'm flying too close to the sun
I am taking a risk by pursuing you and my emotions may be too much to handle
And I'll burst into flames
My emotions may become too much to handle and I will become overwhelmed
Heart attack
My feelings for you may cause me to have a heart attack

HEART ATTACK
Never put my love out on the line
Never said YES to the right guy
Never had trouble getting what I want
But when it comes to you, I'm never good enough
When I don't care, I can play 'em like a Ken doll
Won't wash my hair, then make 'em bounce like a basketball
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear high heels, yes you
Make me so nervous, that I just can't hold your hand
You make me glow,
But I cover up, won't let it show,
So I'm puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
Never break a sweat for the other guys
When you come around, I get paralyzed
And every time I try to be myself
It comes out wrong like a cry for help
It's just not fair
Pain's more trouble than love is worth
I gasp for air
It feels so good, but you know it hurts
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear perfume, for you,
Make me so nervous, that I just can't hold your hand
You make me glow,
But I cover up, won't let it show,
So I'm puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
The feelings got lost in my lungs
They're burning, I'd rather be numb
And there's no one else to blame
So scared I take off and I run
I'm flying too close to the sun
And I burst into flames
You make me glow,
But I cover up, won't let it show,
So I'm puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack (heart attack)
I think I'd have a heart attack
Oh I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
