Listen to Brantley Gilbert’s New Single, ‘The Weekend’
"When it was time to pick out the first single from my next album, ‘The Weekend’ was the only choice," said Gilbert.
Kick the weekend into high-gear with Brantley Gilbert’s rowdy new single, “The Weekend.” The tune went live to fans just in time for the workweek grind to end.
“When we hit the road this winter on the Blackout Tour,” Gilbert says of the song, “we were rolling through the Midwest, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Minnesota, and you see how hard people work – and how much they need to let it go when they get to Friday! All those people coming out to the shows and rocking hard; they meant business. I wanted to write a song that matched that intensity to kick back even harder than you work. That’s where ‘The Weekend’ comes from: all those people who came out and threw it down with us.”
Gilbert’s new single was co-written by the country-rocker and first time collaborator Andrew DeRobert. It follows his most recent release “Stone Cold Sober.”
“We’re out on the road, seeing the people,” added Gilbert. “There’s nothing better to write about than all those fans out there – except seeing the way they lean into a song when it hits them. And I know the BG Nation: they like big guitars, loud drums, something with a little attitude. When it was time to pick out the first single from my next album, ‘The Weekend’ was the only choice.”
“The Weekend” officially hits country radio beginning August 8. The track is the lead single from Gilbert’s upcoming studio album.
