Warner/Chappell Music and THiS Music have signed a worldwide co-publishing agreement with Jessi Alexander.

Alexander’s hits include Blake Shelton’s “Mine Would Be You” and “Drink On It,” Eric Paslay’s “Song About a Girl,” and Lee Brice’s “I Drive Your Truck,” which earned Song of the Year honors from the CMA (2013), ACM (2014) and the 2013 NSAI Awards. The song was also nominated for a Grammy for Country Song of the Year. Alexander co-wrote the title track for Tim McGraw’s most recent project, Damn Country Music, and contributed two songs to Shelton’s current album, If I’m Honest, including “Savior’s Shadow” and “Friends.”

Alexander also wrote the upcoming single “The Way I Talk” for Big Loud Records’ artist Morgan Wallen. Alexander’s own self-released album, Down Home, includes collaborations with Sheryl Crow, Dierks Bentley, and Alexander’s husband and frequent collaborator Jon Randall.

THiS Music was formed in 2006 by publisher Rusty Gaston and songwriters Tim Nichols and Connie Harrington—launched in partnership with Warner/Chappell Music—and recently celebrated its 10th anniversary.
