Watch Thompson Square's 'Lay It On Me' Video

(BNPR) Thompson Square has released "Lay It On Me," a high-energy track with a swampy groove co-written by Thompson Square's Keifer and Shawna Thompson along with highly regarded Nashville songwriters, Johnathan Singleton and Ryan Hurd that continues the duo's evolution toward more dynamic, performance-driven material.

The upbeat single serves as the second release from their forthcoming album, reflecting a renewed focus on creating songs that translate powerfully in a live setting while staying true to the sound they love.

"Lay It On Me" pulls listeners straight into a summer night where everything feels a little slower and a little sweeter. From the crunch of gravel under tires to the glow of moonlight through the trees, the song paints a vivid picture of two people letting their guard down and leaning into the moment. There is an easy chemistry woven throughout, carried by a relaxed groove and details that feel lived in and real, inviting listeners to step into the scene and stay awhile. It is the kind of song that feels just as at home on a back road drive as it does turned up loud at a live show, capturing that carefree, close-to-the-heart feeling that makes you want to hit repeat.

"This was our first time writing with Johnathon and Ryan They were both great writers so we were excited to go into the session and create something special. We walked away with 'Lay It On Me.' We love the energy and that swampy feel, it really captures where we are creatively right now. We've been writing a lot with the live show in mind, bringing more energy into this next project and focusing on the kind of songs we genuinely love to listen to. Following their two recent releases "You Were There" and "Livin' in the Country", "Lay It On me" continues painting the picture of what's to come with this exciting new project."

Johnathan Singleton shared, "I've always been a fan of Thompson Square. Me and Ryan were pumped back when we got to go out with them and write. We wrote a killer song, and sometimes songs take time to find their moment. I'm so glad this one is coming out!"

Ryan Hurd added, "This was actually my first time ever on a tour bus. It was so fun to be a brand new songwriter getting an opportunity to write for a few days with Thompson Square and a hit songwriter like Jonathan. Still such a great memory for me."

Produced by Mickey Jack Cones, "Lay It On Me" was recorded at Blackbird Studio in Nashville, engineered by Casey Wood with assistance from Michael Walters. The track features Miles McPherson (drums), Craig Young (bass), and Ilya Toshinskiy, with Cones and Derek Jones contributing across acoustic and electric guitars, keys, programming and background vocals alongside Rob McNelly, Derek Wells and David Dorn. Mixed by Cones at The Conederoza and mastered by Andrew Mendelson at Georgetown Masters, the production maintains a cohesive, performance-driven sound.
