The Song That Almost Never Happened
According to insiders, the track was born out of a late-night studio session in Detroit, where Eminem had been working on his upcoming album “Reckoning.”
Ava Max was in town for a benefit concert and dropped by “just to say hi.” But when she heard the beat Em was toying with — a haunting piano loop layered over industrial drums — she froze and whispered:
“It sounds like falling. Like falling and daring the ground to hit harder.”
Em turned to her and said, “Then sing like you mean it.”
And she did.
The Hook That Hits Like a Scar
Ava Max delivers a soaring, razor-edged chorus:
🎵
“Tear me down / Brick by brick / Watch me bleed / But I won’t quit / I’ve burned too long to fade away / I’m fire now — I’m not afraid.”
🎵
It’s desperate. It’s defiant. It’s unforgettable.
Then Eminem comes in — and tears the beat to pieces.
“I’ve been dead in my head since ’09, soul in a coma / Heart on a drip while I spit like a soldier / You throw dirt? I build with it, boulder by boulder / You want ashes? Breathe in — I’m the closure.”
Joyner’s Verse? Unhinged, Unapologetic
Joyner Lucas, never one to hold back, delivers the third verse like a sermon mid-breakdown:
“I came from the bottom / Where silence is violent and trauma is scripture / Y’all want a savior? I’m not him — but I’ll scream louder when the devil whispers.”
A Music Video Like a Fever Dream
Directed by Dave Meyers, the official video shows Ava trapped inside a collapsing cathedral, Eminem rapping in the middle of a burning forest, and Joyner inside a padded room — walls scrawled with lyrics in blood-red ink.
In the final scene, they stand side by side in the rain, soaked, shivering… but smiling.
The Internet Can’t Catch Its Breath
Within four hours of release:
#TearMeDown is trending No. 1 globally
The video hits 20 million views
Critics are calling it “raw, genreless, fearless”
@hiphoparchives: “This isn’t a collab. This is an explosion.”
@popjusticequeen: “Ava Max just stepped into her villain era — and I’m living for it.”
@eminemfan99: “I didn’t expect to cry AND throw punches at the air today. Thanks Em.”
The Message: Pain Is Power
In a rare joint statement, the trio wrote:
“This song is for the ones who weren’t supposed to survive. For the voices that cracked but never went silent. For anyone who’s ever screamed into a pillow and still showed up the next day. You’re not broken. You’re battle-tested.”
“Tear Me Down” isn’t just a song — it’s a mirror.
And if you dare to look at yourself through it,
you might just find that the rubble they buried you under…
was always your foundation.

“You picked the wrong guy to humiliate — I’m not backing down, I’m going to fight back.” With those cold, unwavering words, Stephen Colbert fired the first shot after CBS abruptly canceled The Late Show. Calling it “a war,” Colbert not only defended himself, he turned the tables. CBS may have thought they could mock him in front of millions of viewers, but instead he fired off a blistering retort that silenced the studio and sent shockwaves across the internet. What exactly did he say? And why do insiders say this is just the opening salvo in a much larger war?
David Letterman had always been a man of silence and smirks, of words unspoken but deeply felt. But in this…

Whatever happens next, his pointed remarks could be just the beginning of a media earthquake.
