Australian singer songwriter Paige Valentine describes this song as one of the hardest she's ever written. Likening it to Dolly Parton's Jolene but from Jolene's point of view. It’s the often unexplored and perhaps untold story of “the other woman”. Written during the beginning of a new relationship, it tackles the indecision of someone who maintained a relationship with his ex at the same time and lead to heart break all around. Says Valentine, "Don’t Tell Her” is me trying to avoid other people getting hurt while getting hurt myself, but there’s a quiet power in the idea that the only sense of control I had while I was in damage control, was taking my name out of his mess. And taking my power back."
