Country trio Lady A recently released a nostalgic new song, "Love You Back," via Big Machine Label Group.

"A memory can't tell you how to make you feel / In the moonlight glow of a shotgun seat / A memory can't pick out a diamond ring / And say I do under an old oak tree," the group sing.

The song was written by James McNair, Lindsay Rhimes and Emily Weisband and produced by Dann Huff.

"When we first heard 'Love You Back,' we knew immediately it was such a great fit for us," the band said in a press release. "Heartbreak is something almost everyone has experienced and this song describes that experience in a whole new way."

They added, "We've loved seeing how fans react to the song and to now share the official version with everyone is really special."

ESPN's "Monday Night Football" broadcast opened with a new music video featuring eight-time Grammy Award winner Chris Stapleton, entertainment icon Snoop Dogg, and world renowned-drummer Cindy Blackman Santana reimagining Phil Collins' megahit "In the Air Tonight."

Monday night's premiere of "In the Air Tonight" cover by Snoop and Stapleton ahead of "Monday Night Football" adds to the television franchise's "Two Games, One Night," special presentation. Santana plays drums on the new version of Collins' 1981 hit song.

The new open kicked off "Monday Night Football" games on ESPN and ABC on Monday, September 18th.

It will continue for all "Monday Night Football" games, ESPN's Week 18 Saturday Doubleheader, Super Wild Card, and its first Divisional playoff game.

"Heavy Action," the iconic Monday Night Football theme music, was played following the new open, leading into Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Lisa Salters' call of the game.

"In the Air Tonight," one of greatest songs of all-time, has a deep relationship with football, having been cited as a song that helps players shift their mindset to prepare to compete.

"It was fascinating to me to see how one song could get you in that mode to go kick some tail," two-time Super Bowl champion and Steelers legend Hines Ward said in an ESPN feature about the song.

Country singer-songwriter Hardy teamed up with rock band Beartooth for the song "The Better Me," which marks their first-ever collaboration.

"I've always been a Beartooth fan," Hardy shared. "I'm excited we finally got to do something together and I'm honored to be part of their new record."

"There are times where we feel like there is a way better version of ourselves somewhere deep inside that we need to find and bring back to the forefront of our lives," added Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo. "This song is about going through the things that brought me to that conclusion. Simply put, I made a choice to be a better me."

"How many times have I said I was gonna be someone / When I get back onto my feet? / Tomorrow, I'm gonna make changes / 'Cause today I can barely speak," Hardy and Shomo sing together throughout the up-tempo chorus. "I know how to pull myself out / And it's gonna hurt like Hell to set myself free / Just say it out loud, today's the day I stop fu-ing around / And be the better me / (And be the better me, oh)."

"The Better Me" appears on Beartooth's forthcoming album, The Surface, due out on October 13th via Red Bull Records. The album will be out on a variety of formats, including CD, cassette and several vinyl variants.

Country singer-songwriter Dustin Lynch recently shared "Chevrolet," a collaboration with Jelly Roll.

The song is from Lynch's upcoming sixth studio album, Killed the Cowboy. The 12-track album is scheduled for release on September 29.

The song was co-written by Chase McGill, Jessi Alexander, Hunter Phelps, and Mentor Williams.

"Chevrolet" is the second track to be released from Killed the Cowboy after its title track.

Speaking about the inspiration behind the album, Lynch said, "When I'm off the road and working on my farm, I have a lot of inner dialogue. It's a boxing match inside of me, between living in the moment and enjoying where I am, versus what's the best version of me five, 10, or 20 years down the road."

"What do I want to be? What do I want life to look like? Who do I want to be around? Killed the Cowboy is that back-and-forth," he continues. "It's me asking myself, 'Am I okay? Or am I weird for not having found my person yet? And is she even out there?'

"My hope is that this album finds someone who needs to hear it," adds Lynch. "I want Killed the Cowboy to embrace the single people of the world and lift them up, to let them know that you don't have to live a 'normal' life to still be happy in your own skin."
