Find ‘Love In A Bar’ With Ryan Hurd’s New Single
"Love In A Bar" is actually an auto-biographical love story for Hurd, telling the tale of how he fell in love with – you guessed it – girlfriend Maren Morris.
After Ryan Hurd wrote hits for artists like Lady Antebellum, Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley and Maren Morris, he decided to introduce his own recordings to country fans with his self-titled EP last fall. The four-song EP has achieved over 40 million streams and features the track “Love In A Bar,” co-written by Hurd and Joey Hyde, which is now impacting radio.
The music and tone of Hurd’s vocals in “Love In A Bar” set the scene for a dark, atmospheric bar. The lyrics narrate the story of two friends spending time in a bar together waiting for the other to cross the line. Hurd recalls the vivid images of cigarettes and Corona from those nights spent in bars, and he uses those to paint a picture for listeners of exactly how his life was going at that time. As we get deeper into the love story, more instruments are added to reflect the intensity of the relationship.
“We found love in a bar / In the back of a patio corner / Away from the lights / It was us and Corona / And hearts on fire like the cigarettes you smoke / When you drink now we can’t turn back,” Hurd sings with gravelly, soulful vocals.

“I met Maren writing songs and I met her when I was starting to have success. We wrote ‘Last Turn Home,’ that Tim McGraw recorded, and we would write and then after we’d go over to a bar in midtown and have a couple beers. That’s when we started making a real connection, beyond a creative partnership,” Hurd told PEOPLE.
