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.
