“Girls on Guys” — Tigirlily Gold
Tigirlily Gold has the perfect song to add to that summer playlist, sharing the release of their catchy, fiddle-laden track,“Girls on Guys.” The uptempo jam comes as the female country duo’s current single, “Forever From Here” continues to climb the country radio charts.
An all-around anthem for women everywhere, “Girls on Guys” focuses on the fun and flirtatious feelings that overtakes a female’s mind when she’s out partying and sees an attractive man close by. The tune, which showcases the sister duo’s spunk over contagious hand claps and vibrant shakers also gives a subtle nod to Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.”
“Girls on tequila only wanna have fun / Ain’t double-checking’ phones at a quarter to 1 / And girls on a dance floor wanna be twirled / But there ain’t a stronger drug in the whole damn world,” Tigirlily Gold’s Kendra Olson and Krista Slaubaugh sing. “Than girls on guys / They get hooked on a look and the blue of his eyes / And they lose their minds / They make us go crazy, but crazy’s a real good timе.”
“This song is all about a vice that many women just can’t kick… and that vice is men,” the talented sisters shared in a press release of the track they co-wrote alongside Shane McAnally and Pete Good. “It’s our guilty pleasure honky tonk, line dancing, summer anthem song that sounds the best turned up real loud.”

“Ain’t Sober ” — Trey Lewis
Trey Lewis may have kicked the substance abuse, but the girl of his dreams still makes him feel a sense of euphoria. Serving up that message, Lewis delivers his intoxicating new track “Ain’t Sober,” written alongside Davis Corley.
“I ain’t had one drop of whiskey / I ain’t had a smoke or a pill / I’m high as I ever was, it’s clear to everyone / I ain’t sober / I fly away when you kiss me
Start spinning while I’m standing still / Having you next to me feels just like ecstasy / I ain’t sober / No, I ain’t sober,” Lewis sings throughout the chorus of the track, which follows songs like “Ain’t Nothing Wrong With It” and “Livin’ Left to Do.”
A slow-tempo, sway-worthy track, Lewis shared the story behind “Ain’t Sober” in a video posted via Facebook, saying,“‘Ain’t Sober’ is inspired by my amazing girlfriend and the way love can truly change your life—give it a listen and let me know what you think!”

“Lonely Won’t Leave Me Alone” — Maoli
“Lonely won’t leave me alone / Run until I run out of road / Heartache just keep tagging along / It don’t matter if I’m here or gone / There ain’t a city and a town / That I don’t feel you around / Hiding in the haze of a cigarette smoke / Or at a bottom of my whiskey coke / Lonely won’t leave me alone,” Maoli sings his newest tune, reminiscing over a romance that ended with him still being haunted by the memories.
On a sonic level, “Lonely Won’t Leave Me Alone” will have folks ready to float down the water or pack their bags for a tropical vacation, with a melody that combines traditional country with Maoli’s Hawaiian roots.
“I had so much fun recording this song in Nashville,” Maoli shared with his followers via Instagram. “It’s a song written for anybody who has ever felt lonely in their life. I know I have, but it’s not about me, it’s about everybody else.”

“Heart You Broke” — Grace Tyler
After treating folks to her latest EP, Everything I Didn’t Say, Grace Tyler packs yet another emotional punch with her brand new release of “‘Heart You Broke.” In the track, Tyler doesn’t mince words. She gets the final say over an ex as she chooses to flee for good, knowing she deserves to have power and control over her own heart. Produced by Ben Foster,“Heart You Broke” features a cascading acoustic melody throughout the verses before the drums take over on the chorus.
“‘Heart You Broke’ was sparked by an unexpected text from an ex who clearly didn’t appreciate what I’d been writing. But I’m a woman who always gets the last word—and this song is exactly that,” Tyler boldly shared in a press release of the track written alongside Eylsse Yulo and Sydney Cubit.
Folks can look for Tyler to sing her heartfelt songs on the road as she joins Lee Brice on his fall What You Know About That Tour, kicking off in September.

“John Deere Blue” — McCoy Moore
It’s easy to recognize a John Deere product by its distinctive green color. And it’s unlikely that color will ever change to a shade of blue. McCoy Moore points that out in his cleverly written heartbreak track “John Deere Blue.” Torn up over a breakup, this highly relatable tune puts the singer/songwriter and Florida native’s vulnerable side front and center as he claims that he will be ready to move on from an ex when the unlikeliest of things will occur.
“When money grows wild on a live oak tree / When cowboys saddle up and go ‘head out east / When the stars shine brighter up in New York City / Or there′s a gold bowtie on an F-150 / I’ll get over you when they paint a John Deere blue,” Moore croons the Shane McAnally and Johnny Clawson co-penned track over a traditionally-leaning, mid-tempo country melody.
Moore’s release of “John Deere Blue” comes in celebration of his recent signing to Sony Music Nashville, in partnership with Cervidae Records. This month, Moore will take the road as part of HARDY’s JIM BOB WORLD TOUR, which kicks off on May 22 in Chula Vista, Calif.

“God Made” — Bryce Leatherwood
Bryce Leatherwood seems to have found the girl of his dreams and he believes the man above has something to do with it in his new track “God Made.” Co-written by J.T. Harding, Adam Craig, Jordan Minton, and Seth Mosley, this track has Leatherwood listing off nature’s beauty such as oak trees, rock bottom creeks, and the big dipper, and reasoning the creator was working his magic to bring two people together.
“God made a man / Man made a truck / Truck made a way for me to pick you up / And just ride under his blue sky / God made the rain to fill all the crops that made all this whiskey we’re sippin’ on / And that red lipstick’s just a cherry on top / When God made you he was showing off,” Leatherwood sings throughout the chorus of the song that features a bright and happy melody.
“God Made” belongs on Leatherwood’s self-titled debut album, out now via Mercury Nashville. Ahead of the album’s release, Leatherwood promoted the project, appearing on a string of shows, including TODAY with Jenna & Friends. The collection comes ahead of Leatherwood’s Grand Ole Opry performance on May 24 and his appearance on the Good Molecules Reverb Stage at CMA Fest in June.
