Climbing the Country chart towards the top for his 11th number one song, Jordan Davis recently joined Katie Neal inside our Nashville studios to talk about the success of “Turn This Truck Around,” and what’s in the works for his next album.
“The song is about a guy that's kind of going through a heartbreak, and he needs to leave it and not go back to it,” says Davis of his latest single. “I think he knows that going back is gonna be a major problem, so he's got to keep moving on.”
“Thinking back on when we were writing it,” remembers Davis, “I think a truck title got thrown out and I kind of started thinking about my dad's old Suburban that we would all drive around in and how many times me and my brother were fighting and he turned around and was like, ‘hey, knock it off or I'll turn this truck around, we'll go back home,’ and that's really where that song started from. But yeah, it's been awesome to see it rocking and rolling, and it's becoming one of our favorite ones.”
If “Turn This Truck Around” hits number one, it would be the 11th for Davis, who is still in awe of the accomplishment. “From being a Country radio kid, you know, that's how I found music growing up, and that was my dream moving to town in 2012 because I just wanted the number one on Country radio,” he shares. “To now be talking about possibly my 11th is pretty wild. I would never would have dreamed. I would have thought you had me mixed up with somebody else if you had told me that in 2018. But, man, I'm grateful to do it. I'm grateful to get to do it and to call this a job.”
Jordan’s album, 'Learn The Hard Way,' came out in August of 2025, but he appears already hard at work on the follow-up.
“I started writing again in January,” Davis reveals. “I just kind of wanted to get out in front of it and write in January before we took off overseas, February, March, and had 4 days in January where I just feel like I really, I don't know, I like hit a spot where I just am really excited to go write again and, wrote some good stuff, and feel like I'm kind of on a pretty cool path to another record.”
“I've got 5 or 6 songs right now that I'm pretty fired up about.”
