Jordan Davis is poised to top the country charts with his latest smash hit, “What My World Spins Around.” The song, which he wrote with Matt Dragstrem and Ryan Hurd, is a look at how his priorities have shifted since becoming a husband and father (to daughter Eloise and son Locklan).
“Once we landed on that idea, I think it was Ryan’s idea, we kind of thought back to younger us,” says Jordan. “The things that my world revolved around were sports, football, hunting and fishing, that was number-one, that was priority number-one in everything, and even too when me and Kristen had just started dating, you know, it was still music. Music was – and she’ll tell you. She’s like yeah, I could tell he was big in his career and wanted music to work out and that probably took priority sometimes. And to have ‘What My World Spins Around,’ maybe it could be the kiddos showing up that I’m kind of like, Man, now everything I do is because of them and for Kristen. I think that’s one reason I like this song so much. It’s such a look back on what I used to be about to where I am now.”
“What My World Spins Around,” as well as his two-week chart-topper and CMA Song of the Year “Buy Dirt,” will be included on Jordan’s forthcoming album, Bluebird Days, which arrives February 17th.
