ABC/Image Group LAJon Pardi’s current single, “She Ain’t in It,” has some pretty big shoes to fill. Every other release from his California Sunrise album has gone to #1, including “Head over Boots,” “Dirt on My Boots,” and “Heartache on the Dance Floor.”
But the Golden State native says it was always in the cards for “She Ain’t in It” to go to radio.
“It’s not a single because of a really fast melody,” he explains, “or a really catchy melody that’s familiar with pop, or familiar to another genre, or a drumbeat, or a drum machine, or a whistle — whatever is in a lot of songs in modern country… And hey, I’ll admit it myself, it’s fun. I’ll dance around in your underwear. I mean, it’s cool. It’s not that song, though.”
In fact, Jon says it’s quite the opposite.
“It’s like a sit down and think about, you know, what the song is saying, what the melody is, how it feels,” he clarifies. “And that’s the reason I recorded it.”
“And I feel like it’s starting to really make an impact too, on country radio,” Jon goes on. “And I think it’s still got a great shot at getting up to the top.”
“And I think the music video is really good too,” he adds with a smile. “If you haven’t seen it, you should watch it. It’s on YouTube.”
