Paisley's "Truck Still Works"

The song, written by Paisley, Chris Dubois, Will Bundy, Hunter Phelps and Rodney Clawson, and produced by Luke Wooten and Paisley, had its radio world premiere Thursday.

Paisley performed the song for the first time for television audiences during last night's NBC People's Choice Country Awards.

"Mud On The Tires" was penned by Paisley and Dubois and reached number one. The new song is expected to be part of an upcoming album that Paisley is working on.

"'Truck Still Works' is a track where everything old is new again," said Paisley. "We debated on how much to really allude to the original ('Mud On The Tires') and there were questions like 'Do you moonlight in a duck blind, catfish on a trot line?' What do you not put in, what's too much, what is enough, and what is not enough? And trust me, we tried each of those, and it was really fun. I think it was Chris Dubois' idea to end the first verse with the line, 'How about a little test drive down by the lake.' It was really fun to go through the process of what makes this song both new and old. What I love about it is that the groove, the feel, is all very modern and very country. We hope it's a blast for anyone who's a current fan or for someone to become a new fan."

Paisley will sing the song on the American Music Awards 50th Anniversary Special airing Sunday, Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. eastern on CBS.
