Rising Country Music Singer Colton Dawson Releases Debut Single “Might Be In It”
Warner Records Nashville’s Colton Dawson storms onto the country scene with his highly anticipated toe-tapping, barn-burning debut single “Might Be In It,” out today! Listen HERE.
On this track, Colton leans into his traditional country style, depicting the all-consuming rush of falling hard for someone and being unable to think about anything else. Blending upbeat boot-stomping instrumentation with his captivatingly smooth, controlled vocals, he takes listeners on a whirlwind adventure of falling in love.
She’s got me showin’ up late, leavin’ work early
Wherever I’m goin’, I’m goin’ in a hurry
To get back to gettin’ some of her sweet lovin’
She’s the only reason that I can’t do nothin’
But sit around thinkin’ about her every minute
If this is what they call love, I might be in it
“I have always loved the instrumentation of early 90’s country records, so I wanted to tip my hat specifically to that with this first song,” said Colton Dawson, adding, “One of the biggest contributions to that instrumentation was the studio musicians who played on those records. Because of that, it was always a dream of mine to work with them. I had the signature lick just sitting in my voice memos for a few months before I brought it to some of my favorite co-writers: Roger Springer, Wyatt McCubbin, and Kenny Whitmire to write it. When we recorded the song, it was a huge honor to play it for Brent Mason in the studio and hear him play that lick, note for note.”
What makes this release especially impressive is that it’s Colton’s debut single. Despite being a newcomer, he brings the charisma, storytelling, and vocal presence of a seasoned artist. His ability to connect emotionally while still delivering an engaging, dance-worthy country track sets him apart and makes “Might Be In It” a standout introduction to who he is as an artist.
Dawson recently signed his first record deal with Warner Records Nashville, marking a major milestone in the young artist’s career. The burgeoning young act is already opening for Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson and Braxton Keith in July, and has shared stages with HARDY, Clay Walker, Jake Worthington, Josh Turner, and more. With plenty of exciting things on the horizon, “Might Be In It” is just a sneak preview into what this one-to-watch has in store.
