Brantley Gilbert
Brantley Gilbert‘s new single, “The Weekend,” premiered Friday (July 22) on more than 140 iHeartCountry stations and on iHeartRadio’s digital and streaming services. The song’s official radio impact date is Aug. 8.
The Valory Music Co. artist co-wrote “The Weekend” with first-time collaborator Andrew DeRoberts. The song is the first track from Brantley’s upcoming album.
“When we hit the road this winter on the Blackout Tour, we were rolling through the Midwest, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Minnesota, and you see how hard people work—and how much they need to let it go when they get to Friday! All those people coming out to the shows and rocking hard; they meant business. I wanted to write a song that matched that intensity to kick back even harder than you work. That’s where ‘The Weekend’ comes from: all those people who came out and threw it down with us,” Gilbert said.
