Blanco Brown has an epic change of heart in the video for his new single, “CountryTime,” filming an action movie-style clip with a major plot twist.

Filmed in 2018 and following the story of Brown’s hard-times anthem, the clip features a guy at the end of his rope, with a desperate plan to make things right. With the beats-and-blues ballad in the background, Brown and his crew work up the nerve to rob a bank — but it doesn’t exactly go as they planned. Instead, the rising hit maker and “TrailerTrap” visionary chooses to make a left turn toward something more positive… which is basically the Georgia native’s real-life motto, even even today as he recovers from a near-fatal motorcycle accident.

Meanwhile, “CountryTime” was intended to be Brown’s first single, before he wrote his danceable breakout “The Git Up,” and the new track eventually became the inspiration for the main character in Netflix’s Ginny & Georgia. It was featured in the show’s pilot episode and led to more than 50,000 Shazams as viewers wondered who the artist was.

“I heard the song on a playlist randomly when I was working and it immediately became Georgia’s song when I was writing,” said Sarah Lampert, creator of Ginny & Georgia. “Georgia has to balance so many different things, she’s beautiful, brilliant, devious, loving, dangerous and funny. The song felt like that for me. It was a blend of all different styles and was so unique in tone but fun and energetic. That became the song for Georgia that I’d play in the writers room. It had the fun energy I wanted for the show with an edge of something else brewing under the surface and had surprises. Also, it had that country flavor. I love it and that’s why it was put in that montage of Georgia in the pilot when we are first getting to know her.”  

“To have a fellow creator be inspired by your work is an unbelievable feeling and makes me want to work harder — thank you, Sarah for helping share my purpose with the world,” said Brown. “Like most things in life, our plans for this song and video didn’t go the way we originally thought but I always felt there was something special about this song and I’m incredibly grateful to be here to witness this moment.”

The video for “CountryTime” comes as Brown is riding high — even though he’s still recovering from the traumatic crash in September that required multiple 12-hour surgeries and a long stay in the ICU. After breaking out with “The Git Up,” Brown scored his second Number One last week with the body-positive Parmalee collab, “Just the Way.”
