Jordan Davis is closing in on the top of the country charts with his latest hit, “Slow Dance in a Parking Lot,” the follow-up to his previous two No. 1 hits, “Singles You Up” and “Take It From Me.”
The Louisiana native co-wrote the sentimental tune with Lonnie Fowler after talking about Lonnie’s first date with his now wife. It’s a true story. That was written with Lonnie Fowler. “We didn’t have an idea of what we were going to write that day, and we started talking about first dates,” says Jordan. “He asked me about my first date, which was not eventful at all, and then I asked him about his first date, and it was him and his wife on their way home, a Garth Brooks song comes on the radio, they pull in a parking lot and he asks her to slow dance. I was like, ‘Dude, if there’s ever a country song, that’s it right there.’”
“Slow Dance in a Parking Lot” has already been certified gold.

“‘Slow Dance (in a Parking Lot)’ is just a song that from day one when we wrote that, people just needed to hear this song. It’s a true story. That was written with Lonnie Fowler. We didn’t have an idea of what we were going to write that day, and we started talking about first dates. He asked me about my first date, which was not eventful at all, and then I asked him about his first date, and it was him and his wife on their way home, a Garth Brooks song comes on the radio, they pull in a parking lot and he asks her to slow dance.
