Brett Eldredge is kicking off the new year by sharing new music with the release of “Want That Back” and its official music video.

Brett says of the new tune he co-wrote, “I woke up at 3:33 one night and was feeling the weight of everything going on in the world. From the pandemic to the hate and the violence - all these different things made me crave the pure and simple parts of life that I miss. I was looking for comfort in these moments that I feel bring purpose into my life."

He added, "It was just such a powerful feeling that overtook me, and I couldn’t go back to sleep until I wrote the whole chorus."

The song's lyrics sing in the first verse, "You can hide the small talk, you can hide the hate / You can hide the check your phone each time you get a little break / And you can hide the lonely, you can hide the pain / You can hide the TV full of stations that tell you how to think."
