Honing in on the melodious foundation that first brought the multi-PLATINUM trio together, Lady Antebellum returns to radio airwaves today with “You Look Good,” while concurrently announcing it as the debut single off their sixth studio album HEART BREAK (Capitol Nashville), to be released June 9. After taking time to pursue solo projects last year, Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood simultaneously share plans to return to the road, with more than 65 shows planned in six countries on their YOU LOOK GOOD WORLD TOUR, presented by NABISCO. To celebrate, at 8:00P CT tonight Lady A will host a Facebook Live fan event premering new music at https://www.facebook.com/ladyantebellum/.“We knew right away that we had to name this album after a track that is a play on the word ‘heartbreak,’” shared Scott. ”It’s all about those personal growths everyone goes through and it was liberating to get back in the studio with Charles and Dave to intertwine those feelings into the recording process,” said Hillary Scott. “I feel like we’ve reemerged stronger than ever and I can’t wait to share more music!”Produced by busbee, the trio’s “You Look Good” features dynamic vocals with crisp horns and is available at Country radio and available now at all digital and streaming partners. Fans can take a look into the making of “You Look Good” with its lyric video featuring photos from the band’s time making new music here: http://umgn.us/youlookgoodvevo“We’ve always loved experimenting with different instruments and sounds in the studio, but we’ve never used horns before,” said Haywood. “The energy they brought to this song is really fun and was validation for all three of us that it had to be our first single back.”“There’s also something contagious about the chorus that will be perfect in our live shows this year,” added Kelley. “We knew after the time off that we wanted to get back out on the road in a big way. We couldn’t be more ready to get back out there with the fans and hopefully make a few new ones too.”Lady A’s YOU LOOK GOOD WORLD TOUR, presented by NABISCO, opens in North America launching on May 26 in Bakersfield, CA with special guests Kelsea Ballerini and Brett Young.

CHARLES: “This song, I mean it is fun. It’s hard to listen to this without having a bit of a smile on your face. And we wanted it to sound different and be kind of be a little bit of a curveball when it came out. We’ve never had horns on a song. This is one of Hillary’s dreams come true.” HILLARY: “Oh my gosh yes. I grew up listening to so many different types of music, and I always just felt like they take you, they transport you to a different place, to a really fun place I think of New Orleans and a different parts of the world that you hear music with horns and you feel it. It’s got a soul to it, and so we felt like this was the perfect choice. It’s we’re, honestly, closer and tighter and better friends than we’ve been since we started this band over 10 years ago. It’s just, it’s fun. I love that we can play off of each other on stage, and it showcases what all three of us individually do well and then what we do well together.” DAVE: “Yeah, this song really represents to me the feeling we had when we started as a band in 2006, and we worked really hard to get back to that this go’round. We spent a handful of time in Florida and a handful of time in L.A., and then finished the record back here in Nashville. We’ve never had this kind of time on our side like we’ve had now, except when we started out 10 years ago. So, the youthfulness and the energy in the song is what really drew us to it, fell in love with it, cut it and it’s just so much fun. It’s such a party playing it live.”
