Serving up all kinds of Country vibes with crafty lyrics and her one-of-a-kind vocals, this tune will have you singing along in no time. “‘Dates In Pickup Trucks’ is meant to be sang along to with the wheels rolling you forward and the speakers taking you back,” Ashton said of the song.

“Try Losing One” — Tyler Braden
Tyler Braden is giving us Country fans the gut punch we all crave with a heartbreak ballad about lost love. “If you think finding a girl you can't live without
is the hardest thing you've ever done,” Braden sings in the chorus. “Try losing one.” Well, that’ll getcha right in the feels. A song that hurts so good, we won’t judge you when you play it on repeat while sobbing uncontrollably… we’re right there with ya!
“Whiskey Sour” — Kane Brown
We love a good play on words and that’s exactly what Kane Brown serves us as he simultaneously rips our heart out. With his Georgia roots on full display, the song stays true to the Country genre while Kane tugs at our emotions telling the story of failed promises and broken hearts. Can you relate? Kane will welcome you right in as he takes a little whiskey with his heartbreak.
“Can’t Do Without Me” — Chayce Beckham, Lindsay Ell
American Idol season 19 winner, Chayce Beckham, has joined forces with Lindsay Ell for a song promised to bring a little tempo to that playlist of yours. The pair balance one another perfectly as they gush over the “need you” phase of a relationship, complete with a badass guitar solo by Ell — we love to hear it! Uptempo, captivating and all about love, this song will have you thinking about that special someone in no time at all.
“Y’all Means All” — Miranda Lambert
Miranda Lambert is showing the world some Southern hospitality as she preaches acceptance, love and good vibes. Selected as the new theme song for Netflix’s Queer Eye, this tune is opening eyes and hearts across the Country music genre with forward-thinking lyrics that don’t sacrifice the twang we love so much. The more the merrier when it comes to Country music and this song proves it!
“Flower Shops” — Ernest ft. Morgan Wallen
Ernest’s artist career is in full bloom. After many years as a successful songwriter, it’s absolutely no surprise to us that the concept of this song is beyond brilliant and completely embraced by the Country community. With some help from fellow artist, and good friend, Morgan Wallen, Ernest dedicates this one to all the flower shops who keep relationships afloat. Roses, Daisies, Violets — we’ll take ‘em all!

Turn it up! We can’t get enough of this in-your-face, high energy Country JAM. Perfectly capturing the energy of Kentucky-native, Elvie Shane, this song is the perfect playlist addition as we roll into the warmer spring months.
