Mine

0 Comments

Swift releases her single, Mine, from her album, Speak Now. In a MTV interview, she reveals her inspiration for the single:

This is a situation where a guy that I just barely knew put his arm around me by the water, and I saw the entire relationship flash before my eyes, almost like a weird science-fiction movie. After I wrote the song, things sort of fell apart, as things so often do. And I hadn’t talked to him in a couple months. And the song came out, and that day, I got an e-mail from him. And I was like, ‘Yes!’ Because that one was sort of half-confession and half-prediction or projection of what I saw.

Tattoos On This Town

0 Comments

The artist releases Tattoos On This Town, from My Kinda Party. When asked if he sees himself in the song’s narrative, Aldean replies:

A little bit, yeah. When I was in high school, the night before we graduated, we all met up at our school at midnight and spray-painted our names all over the parking lot. So when all the teachers came back the next day, they had something to remember us by. It was pretty cool. It was like big names, you know? That was what I thought about when I heard that song.

It’s about a guy meeting a girl, and it’s the first night that they’re hanging out. It’s a magical night and he doesn’t want it to end. It’s got a big fun chorus in it.

Swagger Jagger

Lloyd releases her debut single Swagger Jagger. Lloyd collaborated with The Runners and The Monarch to produce and write the track.

It’s good, isn’t it? I didn’t really expect it if I’m honest—I’m not complaining though! I thought it would either go all the way or completely miss the top 20.

Shelton releases his second single from his album, Red River Blue.The song was originally written and recorded by Christian rocker, Dave Barnes. Shelton tells how he felt after hearing the original on the radio:

For whatever reason I was flipping through stations and landed on a contemporary Christian station, and that song came on and I almost had to pull the truck over. It was one of those moments for me where I felt like I was hearing that song at that moment for a reason.

Easy

The band releases, Easy, featuring, Natasha Bedingfield, from, Nothing Like This. Bedingfield:

I’ve always had very eclectic and varied tastes in music. I think you’re always going to see that from me, just working with people in different genres. I love it. Rascal Flatts were fantastic; I’ve always been into folk music and Americana, people like Johnny Cash, so I feel that’s quite linked to country music. And I know Rascal Flatts are classified as pop/country, definitely more in that world. So it was like opening a window for me.

Long Hot Summer

Urban releases his single, Long Hot Summer, from his album, Get Closer. Urban:

I like to have at least one good summer song on a record. I love radio songs, and there are certain songs that I write specifically trying to hear them on the radio or just in the car. That’s the place I usually have in mind when I write. I still love hearing music in a car more than anywhere.

Long Way To Go

Jackson releases his single, Long Way To Go, from his album, Thirty Miles West.

It’s just a fun summertime song – I had something to drink one time and a bug flew in it and I kinda made a note of that. Some people have asked if I was sitting someplace warm or near a beach when I was writing it, but I was actually in Nashville and it was pretty cold!

Made In America

Keith releases his single, Made In America, from his album, Clancy’s Tavern.

It’s not really political statement, but it’s just about a couple that raised this boy who’s in the song and it just talks about all of the ways they support their country and how patriotic they are with the way they live every day.

Remind Me

0 Comments

The artist releases his single, Remind Me, featuring vocals from Underwood, from his album, This Is Country Music. Paisley says that Underwood was his first choice to record the duet with:

I think we’ve become really close, having toured together and become friends and co-hosting the CMAs for several years. We just get along great and sing great together. She’s probably pretty much my first choice to sing with when it comes to a duet with a woman like that. I mean, we just sort of share the same values and get along that well. And also, I just don’t think there’s a better singer than her, so it’s sort of selfish to be able to sing with her and perform. Every take sounded like that [the final recording]
