Yas! This is my favorite song on his new EP after "Get Her Back." Really happy to see that Meghan Patrick will get a chance to chart in the US now with this, too. She's one of my favorite females on the Canadian scene and I'd love for her to get a hit down here, even if it's another situation like Lindsay Ell where it doesn't necessarily translate to solo success. Anything is better than nothing though!

I like this song too but for me it's too similar to Aldean-Underwood duet. Is it due to the fact that Michael Knox and the rest of Aldean band are behind the last Michael Ray EP production?

I'm a little surprised that Get Her Back was not chosen as a single, considering that a good amount of budget was spent on that music video. I'm here for Meghan Patrick's another shot on the US radio tho! I would not consider this song to be her strongest performance, but the collaboration with the US male act should help her get a decent success in the US for sure!!

I did not love “Get Her Back”. The vindictive attitude was pretty cringey and the hook fell flat. This feels way more like a hit to me. Meghan sounds awesome, and I think it shows off her voice especially when she hits the higher registers. Really hope this song hits if for no other reason then to get Meghan in the mix with US country radio

I like Meghan too.

I hope this becomes a hit and somehow ''Greatest Show on Dirt'' can get released in U.S.

If this becomes a hit I wonder if he’ll combine this EP and his last EP Higher Education as an album?

[LBTrocks]

The chorus has one hell of a melody and Michael and Meghan sound really good together. Fantastic lyric too. This has grown on me tremendously since the EP was released and it was pretty obvious it was going to be a single. I still think it may be my least fav song on the EP, but that’s just because I love the EP so much lol. Although I think I would put this ahead of “Workin’ On It” now.

“Get Her Back” is still the best song on the EP musically and lyrically, followed very closely by “Hate This Town”

Second most added with 41 adds and total historic adds this week.

Debut at #57 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart this week.

Goes recurrent on Billboard today after spending 24 weeks on the chart and peaking at #35 on the Country Airplay chart. While this is still being promoted, the updates for it haven't been kind at all and given today's update I wouldn't be shocked if this song is done.

Also wouldn't be shocked if country radio is moving on from Michael Ray as this is his second underperforming song in a row and while "Whiskey and Rain" did hit #1, it took forever to do so. He did a release a new song today called "Nothin Else"

[.indulgecountry]

Would be weird if this one is truly done because it had got off to a pretty strong start, kinda surprising that it's fallen off the charts already.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but you also have been saying this about him basically since he came on the scene in 2015 lol. Your view is valid and I definitely respect your opinion when it comes to how radio and the charts work (your knowledge of it is wayyyy more than mine, lol) but the occasional flop from Michaell Ray doesn't worry me too much because he always seems to come out with something later on that connects well. But we'll see what happens, like I said you could end up being right here.

As for "Nothin' Else" I can't say I'm feeling it much at all. I wasn't feeling the teasers on Insta either, and the full song didn't really sway me to a more positive opinion.

I used to hope if this has done well which would open some doors for Meghan Patrick in US well that ship has sailed
