Jordan Davis Battles Heartbreak as the Bar Crashes Down in Explosive ‘Bar None’ Video

Jordan Davis brings heartbreak to life in a unique way with the release of his brand-new music video for “Bar None.”

The video opens with Davis alone in a dimly lit bar, surrounded by moody neon lights and stained glass windows, seemingly reflecting on the pain of a recent breakup. As the emotion builds, so does the intensity of the video. Suddenly, the walls, floor, and ceiling begin collapsing inward, as if the weight of his heartache is literally closing in on him. 

“Bar none/ Now I’m getting goner than your long gone boots/ Nothing I’m working on works on you/ I’ve been breaking every bottle open/ Doing what a banged up broken heart does/ Gonna need three or four more/ Baby if moving on had a scoreboard/ It’d say you and your memory one/ Me and this bar none,” he sings while trying to escape the walls closing in on him.   

The Patrick Tracy-directed video comes to a climax as the bar explodes, leaving Davis standing in the middle of a parking lot with debris flying around him. 

“Bar None” is Davis’ current single from his highly anticipated new album, Learn The Hard Way, which arrives on August 15. 

Written by Ben Johnson, Hunter Phelps, and Lydia Vaughn, the song marks a bit of a departure from what fans have come to expect from the Louisiana native, but it appears the risk of trying something new is clearly paying off. The song is currently climbing the country charts and sits inside the Top 20.

“Bar None is a song that was sent to me, a song that truly from the demo just kind of stood out as different right off the bat. It kind of pulled me in, something I wanted to hear more of. Glad we cut it, love the way it turned out, Davis recently shared. “I think it’s something that’s a little different from me, but something I’m excited about to play live.” 

Davis opened up about the album-making process with Country Now and shared that is was born out of a desire to get back to his roots and the sounds of his debut album, Home State.  

“Not just going back and trying to make a record that I’ve already made, but going back and diving into the kind of the bluesy soul music that I listened to in college, the southern rock and roll that my dad grew me up on,” Davis explained. “I think that gave me something to aim for and it gave Paul [DiGiovanni] something to aim for in the studio cutting it. So I think that’s where we wanted to go back and be like, ‘Hey man, let’s not just talk about influences. Let’s actually try to show some of these influences through these songs.’” 

Fans will have the opportunity to catch Davis performing “Bar None” and the rest of his hits on his headlining Ain’t Enough Road Tour, with dates across the U.S. Mitchell Tenpenny and Vincent Mason will appear on the trek as special guests.
