Little Big Town‘s latest single is giving you a reason to feel like you’re on a beach drinking tropical fruity cocktails with your significant other. “Pain Killer” was written by LBT’s Karen Fairchild and Jimi Westbrook with Blair Daly and Hillary Lindsey.
“It’s not what you think it would sound like when you hear the word ‘pain killer.’ You think, ‘Oh, this is going to be like a ballad or a heart wrenching country song,’ but it’s so not that. It’s amazingly fun,” says LBT’s Phillip Sweet. “Every time I hear it, it just puts me in the right mood. It puts me in the – it’s basically a love song. It’s about how much you love that other person in your life and they are your pain killer.”
The reigning CMA Vocal Group of the Year filmed the video for “Pain Killer” at the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands, where the Painkiller drink was invented.
