Brantley Gilbert Releases New Single "Want You Back" + 'Greatest Hits...So Far' Available 12/12
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Multi-Platinum country rocker Brantley Gilbert returns to Country radio with a clever twist on heartbreak in his single, “Want You Back,” out now via The Valory Music Co. The track made its global premiere yesterday exclusively on Country radio, before going wide across all digital platforms today. Listen to “Want You Back” HERE.
With its 90s-meets-modern-country sound, pedal steel woven into his signature rock edge and a hook that's instantly addictive, “Want You Back” finds Gilbert leaning into tongue-in-cheek humor, wishing his ex had done him dirty so he’d have a reason to move on. Written by Gilbert with HARDY, Hunter Phelps and Will Weatherly, and produced by Gilbert, Weatherly and Brock Berryhill, the single proves even heartache can come with a grin:
I wish you would’ve keyed my truck
Sunk my boat
Drank all of my beer
Smoked all of my smoke
Hooked up with all my buddies
Set my double-wide on fire
Put diesel in my gas tank
And a Buck® Knife in my tire
‘Cause I’m sitting here missing you, baby
Reminiscing on the love we had
Girl, I wish you would’ve done something crazy
‘Cause I don’t wanna want you
I don’t wanna want you back
