DIAMOND-selling superstar Brian Kelley taps the rush of a summertime fling that turns into more for “See You Next Summer,” as blazing hearts make a part-time hookup last longer than just one season. First teased across socials, fans can now pre-save/pre-add the song here. “See You Next Summer” releases May 26 via Big Machine Records.
“‘See You Next Summer’ is more than just about summer love, it’s a forever kinda love song,” shares Kelley.
Written by David Garcia, Michael Hardy, and Hillary Lindsey, “See You Next Summer” sizzles with Country passion and sun-kissed Soul, as it captures the tale of a modern-day “Danny” and “Sandy.” Detailing a red-hot romance that was never meant to last, the main character falls head-over-boots and doesn’t want it to stop – even as vacation ends, and the unexpected lovers face going their separate ways: “I know we both gotta leave / But we don’t gotta leave alone / You say the word girl and I’ll follow you home.” Produced by Dann Huff, the anthemic-feeling modern Country mid-tempo comes to life with Kelley’s celebrated vocal twang, while a heart-pounding mix of thrilling stadium-Rock guitars, orchestral strings, and electronic beats fuel a late summer storm of emotional conflict. But as the sun sets one last time, can they say goodbye?
Sharing the exciting news of “See You Next Summer” on the red carpet last night (5/11) during the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards live from the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, TX, Kelley and his wife Brittney also made several high-profile “Best Dressed” lists from the likes of Us Weekly, iHeartCountry, and Taste of Country, among others.
Jumpstarting the season in celebration of “See You Next Summer,” the Ormond Beach, FL, native is next headlining the Daytona Beach Oceanfront Bandshell in Daytona Beach, FL, on release day (5/26). Click here to purchase tickets.
