Lady Antebellum’s latest hit, “Bartender,” is definitely striking a chord with fans – it’s already reached the Top 10 and is still climbing. You can count Lady A’s Hillary Scott among those who really like what the song is all about. “I love the fact that she (the woman in the song) is…taking control of her heartbreak,” Hillary says. “She’s going to go out with her friends and just have a night to just forget about what this dude just did to her…taking the reins a little bit of the situation, and just kind of getting over it.” Hillary had a hand is telling this story even before you heard it – she co-wrote “Bartender” along with bandmates Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood and songwriter Rodney Clawson.

“Bartender” is the first sample of what’s to come on Lady A’s new album, 747, which is being released on September 30th.

Lady A (Hillary on Bartender) OC: …fun way :29
“I love the fact that she’s not just…it’s not this song about her just…‘My heart’s been ripped out. I’m so sad. He broke my heart, He did me wrong.’ It’s like she’s taking control of her heartbreak and is, like…going out, going with her friends. It’s not about going and rebounding with some other guy. It’s like she’s going to go out with her friends and just have a night to just forget about what this dude just did to her. And I just – I love that, as a woman, kind of taking the reins of the situation, and just kind of getting over it. In a fun way.”
