From “Do I” to “Country Song Came On”

Explaining why the new single resonated, Bryan said, “When I first heard this song, it took me right back to the clubs and honky-tonks I played before I got to Nashville. I love how the writers kept the simplicity in the track and let the lyric paint the story.”
