King takes it out on "Tulsa"
The new album will be released Jan 27.
"Tulsa is a song about doing someone wrong," said King of the tune that includes the lyrics "But if you spell it back to front you gonna know what I mean, he went back to Tulsa."
"This is not about tearing women down, but it's about putting the blame on the wrongdoer. If a man is cheating on you, it's not her fault because there are a million other girls he would do it with. And he'll just cheat on her too. It's a song about uniting and not taking shit from this real P.O.S."
Written by King along with Ella Langley, Bobby Hamrick and Matt McKinney, "Tulsa" features background vocals by Ashley McBryde and John Osborne on guitar. "We wrote the song in less than an hour, and it's so raucous and fun," King said. "We've been playing it on the road, and it's the third song in our show now. It's fun for us and the crowd."
King's current single is "Worth A Shot" with Dierks Bentley and the previously released smash hit "Drunk (And I Don't Want To Go Home)" with Miranda Lambert, "Out Yonder" and "Try Jesus" are already out. King wrote eight of the 12 songs and co-produced with Ross Copperman.
