Kip Moore has joined forces with Charlie Worsham for a brand-new song and video “Kiss Like You Dance.” The song will be included on Charlie’s upcoming five-song EP, Compadres, which also features his friends Dierks Bentley, Elle King, Luke Combs and Lainey Wilson.

Tyler Hubbard has been working on new music for the past several months, and he’s excited to release his new single, “Back Then Right Now,” the follow-up to two No. 1 singles (“5 Foot 9” and “Dancin’ In The Country”). Tyler co-wrote the tune with Jessie Jo Dillon, Geoff Warburton and David Garcia.

The Georgia native says it was a great day of writing with some of his buddies, and a reminder of the importance of making memories and being present.

“We had that title, and then we just started telling stories and reminiscing and just thought, man, this would be really fun to write,” says Tyler. “Let’s write a nostalgic song that kind of encompasses the heart of being present and living life in the moment and living life to the fullest and the simple things in life, you know, making time to enjoy those things.”

These past few months I’ve been writing a ton of songs and working in the studio. I’m super excited to share all the new music I’ve been workin on but this song is one of my favorites – “Back Then Right Now” is out now. Play it loud y’all.
