Charles Kelley has released a sultry new music video for his second solo single “Lonely Girl.” The track appears on his critically-acclaimed solo album, The Driver.

“We almost cut this on a couple of Lady Antebellum records, but it just never really fit where we were going and I felt like when I was coming out with this solo project that this was a song that would be a nice kind of addition,” Kelley explained of the song penned by Chris Stapleton and Jesse Frasure.

“It’s definitely a little bit of an outlier compared to a lot of the other songs off the project. It’s got a little more groove to it. It’s a little funky,” he added. “I felt like the project, to balance out more of the somber moments, needed something kind of funky. I love the way it came out. We actually have a little background part that Chris Stapleton, that he’s singing on, doing the answer parts to the song. This is definitely the one, when I’ve played it live, had the head’s bopping.”

Kelley took “Lonely Girl” out on the road this past spring when he embarked on his The Driver Tour. He also showcased the song with stops at The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live. He is currently back with Lady Antebellum as they make stops across the country playing numerous summer festivals.
