Tyler Hubbard kicked off the weekend with a new batch of songs worthy of cranking up the volume (and maybe having a dance party, like his kids often do). The country singer-songwriter released Dancin’ In The Country, a “specially curated” collection of songs on Friday (August 19).

Dancin’ In The Country is Hubbard’s latest solo project to release, following fan-favorite singles “Way Home,” “35’s” and “5 Foot 9,” which also appears on the 6-track project. Dancin’ In The Country debuted just in time for Hubbard to join country superstar Keith Urban on tour (which also includes Ingrid Andress) next month, and arrived months before his full-length album is set to drop on January 27, 2023. Hubbard teamed up with Urban, Ross Copperman and Jon Nite to write the new collection’s title track, “Dancin’ In The Country,” notes a press release shared by the country artist’s record label.

“It’s an exciting season,” Hubbard said in a statement. “Can’t wait to be out with Keith, and I hope everybody knows these new songs. I wanted to get some more music out before I hit the road with Keith so there was actually some songs out there that the fans can get to know, and these songs are fun and I’m super excited about them.”

Hubbard explained that the dance-worthy title track was inspired by his family, including his wife, Hayley, and their three kids: Liv, Atlas and Luca. He shared that the family often holds their own “dance parties” after dinner, turning on “party lights” in their playroom. Now that Hubbard knows the song is a hit at the family dance parties, he hopes audiences are ready to dance along to it, too.

“’Dancin’ In The Country’ is just a really fun, uptempo country song that I’m super excited to play live,” Hubbard said. “I was fortunate enough to get to write this with Ross Copperman, Jon Nite and Keith Urban, who’s just incredible as a writer and a guitarist, and he and Ross Copperman really helped capture the feel and emotion of this song sonically and also me and Jon Nite really tried to dial in the lyrics and they were also very helpful with that. But just an incredible day of songwriting and a really cool song that came from it and a song that sounds like nothing else on the project, and honestly, a song that was inspired by these nightly dance parties we’ve been having in my house after dinner. Me and the three kids and my wife we go in the playroom, turn the party lights on just about every night and have a dance party. So, this is one of those songs that always worked in the dance parties and feels like something that’ll be really fun to take on tour and play live and hopefully get the crowd moving the way the kids do during the dance parties. So, ‘Dancin’ In The Country’ is just a fun one.”
