Wetzel enjoys "Sweet Dreams"

The cut will be on his fifth studio album, "9 Lives," coming July 19 via Columbia.

""I want fans to know that there's a different side of me, not just the sex, drugs and rock and roll Koe that they may have heard about online," Wetzel said.

Written by Wetzel alongside Amy Allen, Josh Serrato, Sam Harris and producer Gabe Simon, "Sweet Dreams" showcases a vulnerable side of Wetzel with the lyrics:
It's hard to have sweet dreams when I'm such a nightmare
I don't wanna talk about it, rather not go there
When I find a good thing, I burn it down slow
Only see your face now when my eyes are closed

"I had an R&B type song in mind, like something off Usher's 'Confessions' album, with a badass drumbeat and a really cool melody. I had written in my notes a few weeks earlier: 'Sweet Dreams,'" Wetzel said of writing and recording the moody track. "When we got to the Sonic Ranch in El Paso (Texas), we tried it. We stepped back to look at the song and got really excited about the way it came out."

"Sweet Dreams" joins lead single "Damn Near Normal" and title track "9 Lives (Black Cat)" in offering an early preview of the album.

Wetzel will launch the Damn Near Normal World Tour this year. He also will perform at Hangout, Country Jam, Rock the Country, Country Thunder Wisconsin, WE Fest, Watershed festivals plus a hometown stadium show as he joins Morgan Wallen's One Night At A Time World Tour in Arlington, Texas this July.
