Bailey Zimmerman has found a new way to tease his next release. On Friday (Jan. 26), fans were surprised to see that the country star had dropped new music without any advance warning. However, upon a closer listen, it appears the “song” is actually only a 15-second taste of a new track that’s yet to be released.
Suprise Teaser Appears On Spotify
“New music soon 🤔 👀,” Zimmerman wrote on his Instagram story. “Dropped a little teaser for YALL on my Spotify ❤️.”
The new song was named using three emojis – 🔥⛪❤️. It’s likely that this is a hint for the real title, which has yet to be revealed. The cover photo matches the theme of the emojis as it includes a person’s hand with a ring being worn on their middle finger, holding a lighter with a flickering flame.

Although listeners only hear a very brief snippet of the forthcoming song, there’s already so much power heard within Zimmerman’s words. The clip features no instrumentals, simply just the echoes of his raspy vocals.
The Lyrics Include
“Well I was only scared of the devil and her dad / So we parked somewhere we knew they’d never look / No I never seen nothing like her / Playing with the flame of her momma’s lighter,” Zimmerman sings.
The “Rock And A Hard Place” singer has yet to share any other details regarding the new tune that marks his first release of 2024.
