Saw straitouttanashville's post in the upcoming albums threads about this new Justin Moore song, so I went to R&R and...bingo! :) Goes for adds on November 16th as what I would expect to be the lead single to Moore's next studio album.

Justin is very hit or miss with me. Didn't like his debut or his last album, but I really enjoyed Outlaws Like Me. Hope there's less "This Kind of Town" and more "Run Out of Honky Tonks"/"Til My Last Day" this era.

Love the title of this!

Definitely looking forward to some Justin, it's been too long. A lot has changed though since "Lettin' The Night Roll" hit #1, and I'm almost wondering if he's too country for country radio these days.

This is the kind of title you would expect from a 90's country single -- very entertaining titles back then. :)

I'm giddy with excitement. Love the title; have high hopes for this.

This Kind of Town was THE wrong single for Justin. I still think he should have released One Dirt Road...

[ethanhunt]

Excited to hear this

I have high hopes too. I saw Justin live for the first time over the summer and he was awesome. Great entertainer. With a title like that I would certainly think this song is 100% country. Can't wait to hear it!

One Dirt Road would have been good. I think the title track would have worked very well too. Total 100% Bro song that probably would have done well on radio.

After the terrible handling of the singles from the last album era, I can only hope things are different this time around. I don't think it would've mattered what he put out after Home Sweet Home, all momentum was dead. Old Habits because it had Miranda on it might've have a chance, but it was far too country for someone with no momentum like he had at the time.

Love the title here. Be interesting to hear how the hook plays out.

[hosssulpizio]

Sounds interesting. Wonder how this will sound. Can't wait to hear it!

Songwriters are Rodney Clawson, Matt Dragstrem and Natalie Hemby.

I love the intriguing title of this and I'm hoping it's more along the lines of something like "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away" than a lot of his other stuff, because he really records some pretty awful stuff a lot of the time. It'll be interesting to see how the title works into the song though because it's a very strange phrasing and I can't really imagine how it'll be used honestly.

The extended title registered on BMI is "You Look Like I Need A Drink Right Now", but it appears to have been shortened for its release to radio.

Thanks for the credit Sabre14. I am a huge Justin Moore fan and can't wait to hesr what this will sound like. Here is the link to the R&R Sabre14 mentioned. Thanks again.

Cover art reminds me of Thomas Rhett. Hoping not.

Praying for fiddle.

Is it just me or does Justin look like he's aged about 50 years? He just looks....idk different and sort of old.

Just a thought, but maybe his look (older) was on purpose based on the song title. But agree 100%, Moore looks like he is rolling up his sleeves and maybe taking on too much.

Here's a small sample of the song that was just posted on his Facebook page. It sounds great! He did not sell out! Yes!!!

I said that a few posts up -- just above the cover art I posted.

It'll likely be available on iTunes a little before midnight.

[sabre14]

This is now available on iTunes.

This is miles better than his past few singles, save for "This Kind Of Town."

[Dustin J.]

[dm2081]

Very solid, and I agree that its one of his better singles. I think this should easily restore him back to the top.

[kw9461]

Strong track from Justin - easily one of his best. I just wish he would've turned the steel up louder - the song is really begging for it. The melody strikes me as very 90's (which is a huge compliment).

Debuts at no. 57 on Mediabase.

That's because "You Look Like I Need A Drink" got debuted by iHeartMedia stations this weekend. This song got 23 new stations this weekend, showing 190 total spins.

[sabre14]

After the iHeartMedia debut, "You Look Like I Need A Drink" makes its debut on the Billboard Airplay chart at #41 this week.

[phil1996]

I like this. Kind of overproduced, and would love to hear a steel guitar, but overall, good quality country song. Should do well for Justin.
