Owens looks at "Real Life"
The power anthem, now available at iTunes, will play at the top of every hour through midnight local time across the country. All iHeartMedia Country station websites are now featuring the new VEVO lyric video.
Written by top shelf writers Ross Copperman, Shane McAnally, Ashley Gorley and Josh Osborne, the song is delivered in a sing-talk style that's a little modern day Roger Miller. The song will be on an album out later this year on RCA Nashville.
"Everybody can put themselves in this song in one way or another," Owen said. "And I've been dealing with a lot of real life circumstances lately: my father's sickness, fatherhood, getting married. These are the things I wanted to sing about, and I know my fans can relate."
"'What We Ain't Got' is about all the things we don't have," Owen said, referring to a previous hit. "'Real Life' is about dealing with what you do."
Owens is playing on Kenny Chesney's 2015 The Big Revival Tour throughout the summer.

He's never better than on the single and album opener, "Down to the Honkytonk." It's a 'friends in low places' drinking song, where Owen's voice gets ...
Most everyone has made up their mind on bro-country music. Maybe you love the breezy images of the beach dippin' and sippin' lifestyle, or you write it off as empty headed and repetitive. Either way, Florida native Jake Owen was a torchbearer for the genre, and it's rewarded him well - four albums and five Number One singles (remember "Beachin"?). His career has been on a more-or-less upward arc, with higher-profile tours and bigger hits each time out. ...
Jake Owen aims to satisfy all comers (that is, if the current country is your thing), but the individual pieces don't quite add up. The songs may stand up on their own well enough, but when all is said and done, Owen remains an artist without much of an identity or sound. Take, for example, Beachin', one of countless country songs about the good life. Like many of his counterparts these days, there's a spoken, neo hip hop rap part to it. The song is breezy, on the catchy side, but ...
