Jon Pardi has hit the top of the country chart with his latest smash, “Your Heart Or Mine.” The song, written by his co-producer Bart Butler, Justin Ebach and John Pierce, is Jon’s sixth No. 1 song.
“It’s always fun to have a number-one song, and it’s a fun song,” says the California native. “‘Your Heart Or Mine’ was one song that when I heard it, I was like, ‘I have to record this.’”
“Your Heart Or Mine” is the follow-up to his No. 1 hit “Last Night Lonely” off Pardi’s critically acclaimed project Mr. Saturday Night. Earlier this year, Mr. Saturday Night earned an ACM Album of the Year nod, Pardi’s third consecutive nomination in category as both artist and producer.
Jon, who will be officially inducted into the Grand Ole Opry on October 24th, will kick off his Mr. Saturday Night World Tour on September 28th in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Jon Pardi is just a couple of months away from becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry. He will officially be inducted into the famed institution on October 24th.
He’s getting really excited for the long-awaited moment. “It’s a thing that country music is historic for, and it’s good to be a part of history and you know, it’s your family, it’s the Opry, it’s country music and get your name up there with some great, great artists and songwriters and great people,” says Jon. “So, I’m excited to be a part of it.”
He was surprised during his performance in Indio, California at this year’s Stagecoach Festival in April, when his friend and Emmy-winning famed restaurateur, author Guy Fieri directed him and the attention of his thousands of cheering fans to a video where Opry member and Country Music Hall of Famer Alan Jackson appeared officially inviting the California native to become the newest member of the Opry.

Jon Pardi (looking forward to being an Opry member) OC: …part of it. :19 “I mean, it’s a thing that country music is historic for, and it’s good to be a part of history and you know, it’s your family, it’s the Opry, it’s country music and get your name up there with some great, great artists and songwriters and great people.

The California native is looking forward to getting over there and putting on a good show for the fans.
“I’m just looking forward to seeing the fans out there playing some venues that we haven’t played before and kinda going back to more of a smaller setting when we’ve been doing big shows out here in the States, so it’ll definitely be different, but I think it’ll be very memorable,” says Jon. “I look forward to building that next step in my U.K presence over there in the music industry and being a live performer. I know it’s pretty much sold-out, and that’s exciting. I know all the interviews I’ve done with the people interviewing me, they just talk about how everybody’s so excited and it’s a big deal and so I want to make sure they get a great show.”

Jon Pardi (world tour) OC: …great show. :48 “Oh man! I’m just looking forward to seeing the fans out there playing some venues that we haven’t played before and kinda going back to more of a smaller setting when we’ve been doing big shows out here in the States, so it’ll definitely be different, but I think it’ll be very memorable. When we went to Australia, it was a lot. We did a lot of traveling. It was really fun when we look back at it, and they’re already asking me to come back to Australia. So, I look forward to building that next step in my U.K presence over there in the music industry and being a live performer. I know it’s pretty much sold-out, and that’s exciting. I know all the interviews I’ve done with the people interviewing me, they just talk about how everybody’s so excited and it’s a big deal and so I want to make sure they get a great show.”

Jon is closing in on the top of the country charts with his latest single, “Your Heart Or Mine,” and is set to be inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry on October 24th.
He was surprised during his performance in Indio, California at this year’s Stagecoach Festival in April, when his friend and Emmy-winning famed restaurateur, author Guy Fieri directed him and the attention of his thousands of cheering fans to a video where Opry member and Country Music Hall of Famer Alan Jackson appeared officially inviting the California native to become the newest member of the Opry.
“When I first saw Guy (Fieri) on stage, I was like, ‘What the hell is Guy doing on stage and how’d he get a microphone?’ But Guy is a good friend and then he was so excited. He knew about it for a long time and like we’re buddies, he never said anything, he was like, ‘This is so hard I didn’t tell nobody,’ but it was a great moment, and it was cool that it was at Stagecoach,” says Jon. “It’s one of my favorite festivals in country music, and it’s the biggest in California. Kind of tying in home state, country music, Nashville, and The Grand Ole Opry together I thought was really special and something that nobody has really seen, so it made the Opry have a stronger connection with the crowd and the West Coast. And they knew exactly what the Grand Ole Opry was, and they went crazy, and it was pretty cool. Then I saw Alan on screen, and then I kind of knew it was going down, and it was cool, and Alan has always been good to me since the 2015 tour. He’s always been very complimentary. He’ll send me random gifts, he sent me his book and whiskey, just little things he would send to me, and it was cool to have.”
Jon has the distinct honor of becoming the first native Californian to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry.
Jon, who is currently making his way to the top of the country charts with his latest single, “Your Heart Or Mine,” heads out on his headlining Mr. Saturday Night World Tour this month with dates coming up in the U.S., Canada and several across Europe including stops in the U.K., Netherlands, Germany, Norway and Sweden before heading back stateside for his Opry induction on October 24th.
Audio / Jon Pardi recalls the night at the Stagecoach Festival when he was surprised by the invitation to join the Grand Ole Opry.
Jon Pardi (surprised by Opry invite) OC: …cool to have. 1:10 “When I first saw Guy (Fieri) on stage, I was like, ‘What the hell is Guy doing on stage and how’d he get a microphone?’ But Guy is a good friend and then he was so excited.

Jon Pardi celebrated not one, but two, of his recent chart-toppers at a party in his honor this week at local Nashville watering hole, Winners Bar & Grill. “Heartache Medication,” which was written by Jon, Natalie Hemby and Barry Dean, went to No. 1 in February of 2020, so he wasn’t really able to celebrate its success until three years later following the global pandemic. He also helped “Last Night Lonely” songwriters – Dylan Marlowe, Jimi Bell and Joe Fox – celebrate their very first No. 1 (which just so happened to be their first single they’d written, as well).
“’Heartache Medication’ is literally like probably one of our biggest songs we play live. The crowd just like, once they hear the fiddle go off, you kick it off and then the crowd goes wild. It’s really cool,” he told media prior to the party. “‘Last Night Lonely’ is a big one too. ‘Heartache Medication’ is getting over someone, moving on, having a good time and getting out and doing the things you’ve got to do to move on. ‘Last Night Lonely’ is almost like a continuation of ‘Heartache Medication.’ He’s moved on and found a girl he wants to settle down with. But for me, a good song, whether I write it or not, has to move people. It’s got to make people tap their feet and it’s got to be powerful, and you’ve got to be remembered, and I feel like a lot of these songs will be remembered for a long time.”
Jon should soon be celebrating another No. 1 song. His latest smash, “Your Heart Or Mine,” which was written by his producer Bart Butler, along with Justin Ebach and John Pierce, is making its way to the top of the country charts.
Audio / Jon Pardi talks about the two songs -- "Heartache Medication" and "Last Night Lonely" -- that he celebrated this week.
