Just days after notching his 23rd No.1 song with “A Guy With A Girl,” Blake Shelton is ready to take over country radio airwaves with the next single from his album If I’m Honest.

“There’s something in the bittersweet / The feeling of a memory / Right there in the moment / All I ever wanted was you and me / We were crying, we were wasted / We were dying when they played it,” the Oklahoma native sings in one of the verses of “Every Time I Hear That Song,” written by Aimee Mayo (Lonestar, Martina McBride), Chris Lindsey (Chris Cagle, Kellie Pickler), Brad Warren (Dierks Bentley, Faith Hill) and Brett Warren (Tim McGraw, Toby Keith).

Shelton debuted the nostalgic song on Wednesday night when he performed it during the 2017 People’s Choice Awards just minutes before winning the all-genre award for Album of the Year with If I’m Honest. The occasion marked the first time a country artist took home the coveted trophy.

“I look at that category of album of the year, and I know that somewhere out there, there’s someone going, ‘I mean, how did he win album of the year? Like, isn’t that just a country album full of stereotypical drinking and cheating and tailgates,’” he said during his acceptance speech. “And to that person, I say, you’re (expletive) right it is!”

The crooner will take the new single, as well as many of his other hits, when he embarks on his Doing It To Country Songs Tour, which kicks off Bakersfield, California, on February 16. The tour will include The Voice Season 2 contestant RaeLynn and Season 11 winner Sundance Head as supporting acts.
