Stream Jordan Davis' New Single 'Mess'

08-16-2026

(MCA) Jordan Davis today released his new single "Mess," out now. Written by Davis alongside writers Jacob Davis, Travis Wood and writer/producer Paul DiGiovanni, the track dives headfirst into the reckless side of heartbreak, capturing the undeniable temptation of letting someone back in when you already know exactly how the story ends.

"Mess" finds Davis putting a fresh, candid spin on the aftermath of heartbreak, finally convincing himself he has moved on, only to discover that the person who hurt him still has the power to undo all the progress he has made.

Equal parts vulnerable, playful and unapologetic, the song captures the kind of chemistry that makes good decisions feel nearly impossible. Sharp-witted and instantly memorable, "Mess" embraces the contradiction at the center of its story: knowing someone can wreck your peace and wanting them to do it anyway.

The new track is the latest new music from "modern-day storyteller" (Billboard) Davis, whose "known for his infectious energy and relatable, sharp-witted storytelling" (iHeart) and knows how to write a country song that resonates with listeners." "Mess" arrives following the release of Davis' latest album, Learn The Hard Way, which earned critical acclaim for "unquestionably elevat(ing) Davis ... to leading man status" (American Songwriter) and three consecutive No. 1 singles with "I Ain't Sayin'," and "Bar None," and "Turn This Truck Around." The album produced Davis' 11th career No. 1 country radio hit and a record-breaking 8 week run at UK radio with "I Ain't Sayin'."

Davis' previous album, Bluebird Days, produced four consecutive No. 1 singles and Song of the Year honors for both 6X Platinum-selling "Buy Dirt" and nearly 4X Platinum-selling "Next Thing You Know." The achievement marked the first time an artist had won Song of the Year accolades for two separate songs from the same album, in "a moment where his songwriting and artistic depth not only match the scale of his success, but finally outpace it" (The Tennessean).
