Sam Hunt dropped a brand new song called “23”.  It’s his first new track since last year’s “Southside” album.

Written by Hunt with Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne, and Chris LaCorte (who also produced the track), “23” has the singer thinking back on a past relationship.

According to a press release, Sam used an early photo of his wife Hannah’s aunt and uncle when they were a young couple for his song art.

You’ll always have long blond hair

You’ll always be Memphis queen

You’ll always be my first time in New Orleans

 

No matter where I go, no matter what I do

I’ll never be 23 with anyone but you

You can marry who you want

Go back to Tennessee

But you’ll never be 23 with anyone but me

 

We’ll always have Folly beach

We’ll always have delta nights

We’ll always be in-between real love and real life

At a recent session at Ocean Way studio in Nashville, Hunt and his band performed a scaled back version of the new song.
