Cole Swindell Unleashes New Party Anthem 'Drinkaby'

Country music singer-songwriter Cole Swindell recently dropped a new party anthem, "Drinkaby."

Written by Jon Pardi, Jordan Schmidt, HARDY, and Hunter Phelps, the track notes that a wild party is required to recover from the pain of a breakup.

"Hush little cowboy, don't you cry / Bartender's got you some whiskey on ice / And if that whiskey ain't a big enough pour / Drink another and another 'til you lay down on the floor / Come on / This is my drinkaby," Swindell sings.

"'Drinkaby,' from the first time I heard it I pictured it being a huge show opener," Swindell says in a statement. "The guitar lick in the intro just grabs you and doesn't let you go. I'm not sure if there is such thing as a fun breakup song but that's kind of what this is. Glad it's finally out and can't wait to get out there and play it live."

The single is set to feature as one of the three new songs on the singer's upcoming deluxe album Stereotype Broken, due April 28.

Zach Bryan Shares New Single 'Dawns' Featuring Maggie Rogers

Rising country star Zach Bryan has teamed up with Maggie Rogers for his new single, "Dawns."

"All is fair in love and war/ So what the hell are we even fightin' for?" Bryan sings. Rogers responds, "I'm on your front porch beggin' for my dawns back/ Give my goddamn records and my clothes back." The song was co-written by Bryan and Rogers.

"Dawns" arrives just ahead of Bryan's recently announced "Burn Burn Burn North American Tour."

Tickets for the trek will be sold via Fair AXS, in keeping with Bryan's dislike of Ticketmaster and its pricing methods.

"I've tried my best to make tickets as affordable as possible for the Burn, Burn, Burn Tour," Bryan said in a video announcing the tour.
