The song is from his forthcoming third studio album
CMA New Artist of the Year nominee and platinum-selling recording artist Mitchell Tenpenny shares “Started Stoppin’,” the latest track from his forthcoming third album. The 20-track The 3rd will be available on September 20th via Sony Music Nashville.
“Started Stoppin'” was written by Mitchell, Ashley Gorley, Chase McGill, and Schmidt.
“We wrote this song altogether at Ashley’s beach house,” Mitchell shares. “Someone said the phrase ‘started stoppin’ and it became our hook. It almost wrote itself. I think Chase came up with the best line in the song, ‘You quit loving me seven months ago. Last night I slept all night, that’s one night in a row.’ That line describes that feeling that you’re finally getting over them. I did it. I passed that mark and got over the hump. And then something happens that reminds you of them. I love how the song grooves with the bass and drums. It all came together lyrically and sonically. It’s one of my favorite songs I’ve ever done.”
Mitchell launched his headline Woke Up In A Dream Tour last night (Thurs, Sept 12th) in Las Vegas at the Theater at Virgin Hotels. The tour will run through mid-November with The Castellows guesting this weekend and Dylan Schneider appearing on the remainder of the shows.
On Wednesday, September 18th Mitchell will perform his current radio single “Not Today” on the Today Show just two days ahead of his Terminal 5 concert in New York City and the release of the album.
Earlier this week, Mitchell received a New Artist of the Year nomination for the upcoming 58th Annual CMA Awards. The show will broadcast live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, November 20th on ABC and the next day on Hulu.
