Sam Hunt dropped a brand new song called “23”. It’s his first new track since last year’s “Southside” album.
Written by Hunt with Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne, and Chris LaCorte (who also produced the track), “23” has the singer thinking back on a past relationship.
According to a press release, Sam used an early photo of his wife Hannah’s aunt and uncle when they were a young couple for his song art.
You’ll always have long blond hair
You’ll always be Memphis queen
You’ll always be my first time in New Orleans
No matter where I go, no matter what I do
I’ll never be 23 with anyone but you
You can marry who you want
Go back to Tennessee
But you’ll never be 23 with anyone but me
We’ll always have Folly beach
We’ll always have delta nights
We’ll always be in-between real love and real life
At a recent session at Ocean Way studio in Nashville, Hunt and his band performed a scaled back version of the new song.
