Thomas Rhett Says ‘Slow Down Summer’ Is Actually About The Fall

Although the title of Thomas Rhett’s new single, “Slow Down Summer,” may make you think of summery things. He says, when you listen to the lyrics, it’s perfect for this time of year. He tells us more: “I don’t know, we recorded it and got in the studio, and it just felt like a lead single off of a record. And I know a lot of people are like, why are you puttin’ out a song called ‘Slow Down Summer’ in November? You know, the song really is a kind of a cold weather song. It’s more talking about, like we know that the weather is getting cold or we know the leaves are changing. We know that summer is exiting and fall is coming in. And so, I think ‘Slow Down Summer’ is a really cool song, and I think a great way to lead this record off.” :23 (OC: lead this record off)
