Jon Pardi had a really good time recording “Getting Over Him” with pal Lauren Alaina. He says the song, written by Lauren, Emily Weisband and Paul DiGiovanni, was a blast and feels like they should have some shots.

The pair first sang together when they hosted the ACM Honors show a few years ago and realized they sounded really good together. Since then, they recorded a pair of duets — “Don’t Blame It On Whiskey” on Jon’s Heartache Medication album and “Getting Over Him” on Lauren’s new album, Sitting Pretty On Top Of The World.

“I loved the song. I loved the attitude of it. I love the aspect of girls going out and having a good time and saying basically like, ‘Whatever. This is what it is. We’re gonna have a good time and I’ll see you when I see you,’ basically. It’s a fun thing,” says Jon. “I thought it was a great song for Lauren and to be a part of it was awesome. So, this is our second duet together. It all kinda started from the first ACM honors when we first sang together, like we’re kind of good at singing (LAUREN: “singing together.” Laughs) and also making people laugh and messing up names. But that’s what kind of sparked it on top of our long friendship. But, I think this one’s a lot of fun, ‘cause our other duet ‘Don’t Blame It On Whiskey’ is awesome, but it’s very chill where this is like, ‘Let’s do some shots!’”

Jon is currently sitting around Top 15 on the country charts with his latest single, “Tequila Little Time.”

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.”

Jon Pardi’s official music video for “Tequila Little Time” arrives just in time for Cinco De Mayo. Filmed in Orange Beach, FL, the official music video was directed by Carlos Ruiz and features Pardi serving up some cheer and dancing, after a woman loses her most loyal companion, her puppy (which is Jon’s actual dog, Cowboy). With sunshine and mariachi’s just around the corner, it’s time to remedy with some tequila and a little bit of lime.

Pardi recently performed “Tequila Little Time” on NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” “Tequila Little Time” is off Pardi’s critically-acclaimed album Heartache Medication, and follows his Platinum-certified #1 title track “Heartache Medication” and his Billboard Top 5 “Ain’t Always The Cowboy.” Billboard lauded the song as a “swaying track with clever word play” and Sounds Like Nashville said it’s, “made to inspire good memories just like its party-starting subject.”

Pardi was the first Country artist to have two #1 singles on Country Radio in 2020 and closed out the year with the release of Heartache Medication Deluxe Edition, issued on the heels of his first CMA Album of the Year nomination, his second consecutive ACM Album of the Year nomination, and the Platinum-certification of title track “Heartache Medication.” HEARTACHE MEDICATION debuted among the top albums on Billboard’s Country Albums chart and was named on Rolling Stone’s “Best Albums of the Year” and The Los Angeles Times “Best Albums of the Year” (#4) list as the only country artist/album represented. A “hero in the making” (Variety), Pardi is noted for his “long-lasting mark on the genre” (Music Row) and his impressive ability to carve out his own path creating “the kind of country music multiple generations came to know, and love can still work on a mass scale” (Variety). Filled with fiddle, twang and steel guitar, Pardi continues to “apply new ideas to country’s old sounds” (Los Angeles Times) and “bring authenticity back into Country music” (People). Pardi is currently featured on the collaboration duet “Getting Over Him” with Lauren Alaina.For more information, visit www.jonpardi.com.
