The song is from his forthcoming seventh studio album
Gearing up to release his seventh studio album next month, Thomas Rhett is sharing more new music from his forthcoming album About A Woman, set for release August 23rd via The Valory Music Co. “Overdrive” is an undeniably catchy, chill-country standout that reflects on all the best parts of small-town living – unforgettable summer nights, football games on Fridays, late night joy rides and young love. Co-written by Thomas Rhett, the track serves as a tribute to the timeless anticipation of picking up a date. Filled with memories that rush back with each turn of the ignition, and sung through visions of a windows-down moonlit cruise, the song reminds fans that nothing truly beats the freedom of two hearts and a hand-me-down Ford. Rhett also dropped the official music video for “Overdrive,” starring his younger brother Tyler Lankford and featuring a vintage, two-toned Ford F250.
“Overdrive” follows the release of “Gone Country” and heart-pounding lead single “Beautiful As You.” To date, “Beautiful As You” has amassed over 47 million global streams and claimed the No. 1 spot on the UK Country Radio Airplay chart for multiple weeks. The song is a tribute to his wife Lauren Akins.
Produced primarily by Dann Huff and Julian Bunetta, About a Woman‘s tempos were kept high and the melodies tight, and while organic country makes up the foundation, layers of retro ‘80s sounds and thumping beats span the album’s fourteen anthemic instant classics. All but one co-written by Thomas Rhett, his upcoming seventh album proves that his songwriting prowess is just as powerful as the stadium-rocking charisma that has cemented him as one of country music’s most consistent yet dynamic modern superstars.
Last week, Thomas Rhett also shared the electric “Feelin’ Country” from Twisters: The Album, the star-studded musical companion to the upcoming adrenaline-pumping Twisters from Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Amblin Entertainment.
The country star recently announced a mini-residency in December at the BleauLive Theater inside Fontainebleau Las Vegas. He has also launched a tequila brand, Dos Primos, now offering Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo variants.
