King and Miranda Lambert’s “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)” to impact country radio on June 14th
RCA Records and Sony Music Nashville have announced a new partnership in support of global entertainer Elle King. King’s “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)” with Miranda Lambert will impact country radio on June 14th.
“I’ve met some of the most badass songwriters and artists and had some of the most rock & roll experiences of my life in country. So I think we’re gonna get along just fine,” laughs King. “Plus, I’m always trying to prove to my PaPaw in Ohio that I haven’t forgotten my roots or where I came from, so this helps a lot.”
“Drunk” came roaring out of the gate and has already racked up over 40 million streams globally. The single debuted at No. 1 in early March on both Billboard’s Rock Digital Sales Chart and the Country Digital Song Sales Chart. Additionally, King is the first female artist in history to have scored four radio No. 1 singles on different formats including Adult Pop Songs, Adult Alternative Songs, Alternative Songs and Country Airplay charts.
“Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)” is clearly the party everyone was missing. “Drunk” was the top-selling song performed at the recent ACM Awards according to Billboard.
“Drunk” was co-written by Elle King with Martin Johnson, who also produced the track, and was recorded in Nashville and New York pre-pandemic. This is the second time King collaborated with Lambert, having recorded together their first release “Fooled Around and Fell in Love” (along with Maren Morris, Ashley McBryde, Tenille Townes and Caylee Hammack) which became “Music Event of The Year” at the 2020 ACM Awards. King also was a special guest on Miranda’s 2019 Roadside Bars & Pink Guitars tour. In addition, King’s 2016 collaboration with Dierks Bentley on “Different for Girls,” also scored a No. 1 on the Mediabase/Country Aircheck and Billboard country airplay charts and won a CMA Award for “Musical Event of the Year” the same year.
The 2-time Grammy nominated King joins Chris Stapleton’s All-American Road Show this summer.
Multi-platinum, award-winning recording artist Elle King has enjoyed over 1.5 billion streams worldwide.
