Jon Pardi had a little writer’s block before he and his co-writers Rhett Akins and Luke Laird came up with his latest single, “Tequila Little Time.”
“‘Tequila Little Time’ was written on a song retreat in NorCal at my Mom’s studio, we did a retreat out there, er my studio at my mom’s house, Shelly’s Honkytonk. But it was the last day of the retreat and we were just co-staring, we were doing some co-staring for like three hours, so like miserable. It’s just what songwriters go through. You don’t have to be a songwriter to know this feeling. Just think of trying to write something down and you can’t write it down. And then all of a sudden, Rhett (Akins) was like, ‘Tequila little time with you.’ And I was like, ‘Yes!’ And then we wrote it in an hour, and we always thought since it was about tequila, we’d have a Spanish thing or kinda like mariachi style with the horns.”
The tune is from his ACM and CMA-nominated album, Heartache Medication.
Jon is also featured on Lauren Alaina’s latest song, “Getting Over Him.”
