The new track features an interesting story
Kicking off 2024, platinum-selling, iconic country/rock band Sister Hazel releases “Love You More” via Nashville-based label Rock Ridge Music, with distribution via Warner/ADA.
“We wanted this song to be fun and to represent a positive way forward after hard times. Life keeps going and there can always be a person that loves you for who you are,” said the band’s guitarist Ryan Newell when he explained the personal message of the song to Glide Magazine. Sister Hazel is not afraid to be vulnerable, and that shows on their new single about taking a chance on love after being burned.
“Love You More” was written by Andrew Copeland, Ryan Newell, and Jack Sizemore, and was produced and mixed by Ben Jackson.
“I can love you more than anyone’s ever loved anything / I’ll catch you when you fall be there through it all you can count on me / If you thought you knew love before / I’m gonna love you more,” the lyrics read.
“‘Love You More’ is a really interesting story. Ryan Newell, Jack Sizemore (guitarist for Jason Aldean), and I sat down to write this song and had an absolute blast,” explains guitarist Andrew Copeland. “It was one of those songs that came out fairly quickly throughout the day. Everything about it just felt really good. Years later, Sister Hazel took the song in the studio, and as we were working through it Ryan came up with a completely alternate feel to the song and added this hook to the chorus. It wasn’t two minutes and we were all high-fiving. It really reminds me of some old-school Hazel. I can’t wait to get this one out on the road and in front of people. I think it’s going to quickly become a fan favorite.”
Sister Hazel has announced new tour dates which include their sixth annual Lyrics for Life: An Evening of Making Music Matter event in their hometown of Gainesville, Florida on Saturday, March 2nd.
