Eric Paslay has hit the country charts with his debut single, “Never Really Wanted,” which is connecting to both men and women because of its subject matter. “I think ‘Never Really Wanted’ is the song that every girl wished some guy would tell her, even if she wanted him back or not, and even if he deserved it or not, she’d love to hear him say it,” says Eric. “I think guys agree with it, because we’re the idiots that either never officially asked her out or was being a jerk because we were young and stupid.”

• “Never Really Wanted” hit iTunes this week.
• Eric is also enjoying his first No. 1 song…that he wrote. “Barefoot Blue Jean Night,” which was recorded by Jake Owen, has already been certified gold and topped the country charts this week.
• Eric is not only a talented singer, songwriter and performer, but he’s also a talented carpenter and all-around handyman. He recently began remodeling a bathroom in his home.
