Paslay received the “10 Songs I Wish I’d Written” honor for the ballad “She Don’t Love You” at the 2015 Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) Awards in Nashville. He also joined Charles Kelley and Dierks Bentley to perform Kelley’s solo single, “The Driver,” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He also recently released “High Class,” the lead single for his upcoming sophomore album. Paslay has penned five No. 1 hits, including “Even If It Breaks Your Heart” (Eli Young Band), “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” (Jake Owen), “Angel Eyes” (Love and Theft), “Rewind” (Rascal Flatts) and “Friday Night,” the lead single from his own self-titled debut album.
