Dalton Mauldin Lives His ‘deja vu’

Nelson Holliman

When someone is constantly on your mind, why not write a song about it? Well, that’s exactly what Dalton Mauldin did with his new single “deja vu.”

Dalton’s musical journey kicked off during his high school years. As soon as he got his hands on a guitar, Dalton began to teach himself how to play and work on his craft as a singer and songwriter. He started posting covers online, and branched out to build his online prescience on different social media platforms.

Then in 2018, Dalton rolled out his first official single “Nights Without You.” The track stacked up over 6 million streams, and was featured on Spotify’s Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds: Pop, and PopCo playlists!

“deja vu” is a little different than what Dalton is used to writing. He spilled, “Deja Vu is a little different than my other songs. it’s probably one of like 5 total love songs I’ve ever written. i wrote this song with the thought of “deja vu” because it was my idea of thinking about someone at different times of the day. at the time there was this girl who i was starting to have feelings for but i wasn’t quite sure if she felt the same way, but i kept catching myself thinking about her a lot more than normal. we had been hanging out & even though i couldn’t tell how she felt about me, a part of me was thinking “there’s no way she doesn’t feel the same.. right?” so i wrote this trying to describe how i felt having all of these deja vu moments about her, and also imagining what life could be like being with her.”

Stream “Deja Vu” now, and say hi to Dalton on Instagram @DaltonMauldin5 and Twitter @DaltonMauldin!
