Sam Hunt’s latest hit, “Take Your Time,” gives guys an inventive and sincere opening line when approaching a lady that they are interested in getting to know.

“I think those interactions between strangers in terms of a guy going up and pursuing a lady or introducing himself or expressing his interest — that can get cliché at times. It can get kind of sleazy and shallow at times when you think about, especially if it’s in a bar or a place that may not necessarily be as romantic as the next,” says Sam.
“Hopefully, the singer in this song and what he’s saying overcomes some of those stereotypes, and you can see past just a surface attraction and you can see that he’s generally interested in this girl who has just completely got his attention.”

Sam, a single guy himself, says it can be tough to stick out from the crowd. “I’ve seen in social settings when there’s a girl there that guys are attracted to, they’re going to pursue her. It’s tough to stand out sometimes, so this is an attempt at that.”

Sam will be kicking off his Lipstick Graffiti Tour, featuring songs from his Montevallo album, January 29th in Los Angeles.
