Sam Hunt is charging up the country charts with his latest single, “House Party,” the third single from his debut album, Montevallo.
Sam wrote the song with Jerry Flowers (who plays bass in Keith Urban’s band) and Zach Crowell. Because of the title, you’d think it was about a big party with a bunch of people, but it’s actually more about an intimate night for two. “We didn’t want to write a party song. We wanted to try to write it from a different angle, and that’s when the girl came into play, and the homebody thing, I guess, came in after that,” says Sam. “With a song called ‘House Party,’ you’d expect it to be more about a big party, not as much about a relationship, so we tried to put a little bit of a unique twist on it.”
“House Party” is the follow-up to two back-to-back No. 1 songs – “Leave the Night On” and “Take Your Time.”
Sam is currently on the road with Lady Antebellum on their Wheels Up 2015 Tour.

“‘House Party’ I wrote with Jerry Flowers and Zach Crowell. I came in one day to write with Zach – Zach is one of the producers on my record – and Jerry was already playing this groove, this cool groove. And I had this little idea, the line, ‘If you’re gonna be a homebody/we’re gonna have a house party.’ We didn’t want to write a party song. We wanted to try to write it from a different angle, and that’s when the girl came into play, and the homebody thing, I guess, came in after that. I can’t remember, but we tied it in…with a song called ‘House Party,’ you’d expect it to be more about a big party, not as much about a relationship, so we tried to put a little bit of a unique twist on it. It’s another one of my favorite songs to play live. It’s a lot of fun.”
