Brett Eldredge is set to release his new album, Songs About You, on June 17. The title track, available now, was written by Eldredge alongside Jessie Jo Dillon and Ben West and will impact radio on April 25.

The new single finds Eldredge name checking lines from classics, such as Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing In The Dark,” Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me” and Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl,” as he works through the emotions of an old flame, brought back to him by the music.

Songs About You features 12 songs co-written by Eldredge, including the previously-released “Want That Back” and “Holy Water.”

“I knew exactly what I wanted to say and what I wanted the album to sound like,” explains Eldredge. “I wanted the album to be songs that connect us all in the human experience. These are emotions that are reflective of each of us. There are songs of solitude, joy and heartbreak, and I like that tension. Songs About You is about the songs that instantly recall your own experiences. The songs that can make you remember exactly how you felt, or the sights around you or the smells in the air. The songs that make you remember all the happiness and the heartbreak.”

Songs About You follows Eldredge’s acclaimed fourth studio record, Sunday Drive. The decorated entertainer has racked up seven No. 1s, nine Gold and Platinum singles, and two Gold albums throughout the course of his career.
