JON PARDI HAD A WEST COAST BEACH TOWN IN MIND WHEN HE WROTE ‘HEARTACHE ON THE DANCE FLOOR.’
Artist
Jon Pardi

Jon Pardi is poised to top the country charts with his latest smash, “Heartache on the Dance Floor,” following in the footsteps of his two previous chart-toppers, “Head Over Boots” and “Dirt on My Boots,” both of which are from his sophomore album, California Sunrise. He co-wrote the tune with producer Bart Butler and singer-songwriter Brice Long.

“I kind of wrote it with like San Diego kind-of-style-of-town or Venice Beach in my mind just because there was a couple of times I spent out there,” says Jon. “So, I just always had this story of this super-hot California girl, like you’re dancing around. You don’t ever have the courage to say it but then you like – she drives you crazy and you’re just kind of like waiting to see her again. You never really see her but this is kind of that – it’s just like a happy song about this guy looking for a girl, and he’s just trying to find her but not in a creepy way.”
Jon will launch his CMT Lucky Tonight Tour October 12th in Birmingham, Alabama, but first he’ll head out with Luke Bryan on his annual Farm Tour, which kicks off September 28th in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Jon Pardi (Heartache on the Dance Floor) OC: …her again. :53
“Man, I always say if you’re going to have a song called ‘Heartache on the Dance Floor,’ you better have a good dance beat. So, this one definitely has something you can dance to. And I kind of wrote it with like San Diego kind of style of town or Venice Beach in my mind just because there was a couple of times I spent out there and this is so cool. I can’t believe people live out here all the time, and this is on the beach bars and stuff. So I just always had this story of this super-hot California girl, like you’re dancing around. You don’t ever have the courage to say it but then you like – she drives you crazy and you’re just kind of like waiting to see her again. You never really see her but this is kind of that – it’s just like a happy song about this guy looking for a girl, and he’s just trying to find her but not in a creepy way. This guy is glorifying this girl through lyrics in a love song, because he wants to find her and he wants to know her name, he wants to see her again.”
