Cole Swindell Enlists Dierks Bentley On New Song, ‘Flatliner’

As the much-anticipated release of Cole Swindell’s sophomore album You Should Be Here approaches, the Georgia native is giving fans a taste of what’s the come on the record by releasing new music each week leading up to the May 6 release.

On Friday (April 8), Swindell debuted “Flatliner,” an uptempo rocker that features the vocals of Country superstar Dierks Bentley. Listen below.

The song is one that he actually wrote for Bentley a few years ago.

“I wrote it for him, sent it to him, and never heard from him,” Swindell revealed in a recent interview with Country Countdown USA. “I don’t know if he heard it or didn’t like it, but a year or so ago, I was texting with him, and sent it to him, and he loved it.”

The result became Swindell’s very first duet. “We talked about it for a while, and sure enough, we got to do it, and it’s gonna be awesome.  I’m just very excited to be singing with Dierks.”

Fans who pre-order You Should Be Here on iTunes will receive a new song each week through the album’s release.
