Blake Shelton’s new single “Texas” takes him back to where he got started, literally. The lost love song is a nod to George Strait, but also his own beginnings.
If you recall, Shelton’s first hit was “Austin,” as in Austin, Texas. That song reached No. 1 on airplay charts in August 2001 and spent an astonishing five weeks there. Similar success would be one heck of a way to begin a partnership with his new record label, BBR Music Group.
“Texas” is Shelton’s next radio single, released on Friday (Nov. 15).
This is his first radio release since “No Body” peaked just inside the Top 20 in 2023.
Johnny Clawson, Kyle Sturrock, Josh Dorr and Lalo Guzman wrote “Texas.” Scott Hendricks returns to producE
Fans noticed his cowboy look on the song’s album cover. On Instagram, Carson Daly — host of The Voice and friend to Shelton — said, “You look like a real man for once.”
The lyrics to “Texas” are below and you’ll find the George Strait reference at the chorus. A press release describes a man left to mourn a free-spirited woman who’s likely moved to Texas. It doesn’t end happily however, a la “Austin” 23 years ago.
While it’s been two years since Shelton released new music, he’s been hot on the radio lately. “Pour Me a Drink” with Post Malone spent three weeks at No. 1 last month. Talking to Taste of Country Nights, he admitted that spending time with Post Malone gave him the kick in the shorts he needed to start recording again
