Thomas Rhett's brand new song, “What’s Your Country Song,” is filled with old country song titles and lyrics which speak to the “country” in everyone. Thomas wrote this song with a handful of co-writers, including his dad, Rhett Akins, while in a hotel room in Dallas last year while on tour before the country got locked down.
He tells us that the idea for the song was his. “We were just talking about ideas for songs and I just mentioned an idea of what’s your country or where’s your country or something like that. And they were just asking me where that inspiration came from, and I just noticed that whether I was in Los Angeles or New York or Seattle or Nashville or anywhere in between, I just kinda noticed that everybody had some country in them, you know? Whether you lived in the city or wherever you lived, I think everybody has a little bit of country inside their bones. And so, we were just talking about how can we write this song, and so we decided to dive in and make the whole song old country song lyrics that tied into a story.”
“What’s Your Country Song” will be included on Thomas’ next album, which is scheduled for release in 2021.
