Jordan Davis is keeping the momentum going with the release of his brand-new track, “Turn This Truck Around.” The song offers another glimpse into what fans can expect from his highly anticipated upcoming album, Learn The Hard Way, arriving August 15.

Co-written by Davis alongside Devin Dawson, Jake Mitchell, and Josh Thompson, “Turn This Truck Around” captures the intense difficulty of trying to resist the magnetic pull of a past love. With a pounding tempo accompanied by Davis’ gritty vocals, the song follows a man caught up in an emotional tug-of-war between holding on and finally letting go of the toxic cycle.

At the very top of the song, the Louisiana native makes the decision to put his foot down, promising that this time will be different.

He sings, “This time, I said it and I meant it/ These boots ain’t tappin’ those brakes/  And I’ll stop for gas, but that’s the only thing/ That’ll get me off this interstate.”

The country star is determined to get as far away from his past love interest as possible. However, deep down he knows that it won’t take much for him to go running back to their fiery connection. As the storyline continues to unfold, the truck that he mentions in the chorus acts as a symbol of his escape, while the open highway mirrors the long road to healing.

The chorus hits hard as he pleads with the woman to keep her distance, knowing it’s the only way to stop him from coming back.

“Don’t make me turn this truck around/ Don’t make me make this Chevy burn back to your house/ ‘Cause nowhere’s where it gets me/ I’m keepin’ this pedal foot heavy, and I’m finally gettin’ somewhere now/ Girl, long as your memory/ Don’t make me turn this truck around,” Davis sings with an intenseness in his voice.

“Turn This truck Around” follows the release of his Top 15 and climbing single “Bar None,” as well as “In Case You Missed It,” “Jesus Wouldn’t Do,” “Learn The Hard Way,” “I Ain’t Sayin’,” “Know You Like That,” all of which are set to appear on his upcoming project, Learn The Hard Way.

In a new post, Jordan Davis declared that the project “can’t get here quick enough.”

The dad of four is preparing to hit the road on his next headline run. Produced by Live Nation, the 2025 Ain’t Enough Road Tour kicks off September 11th in Greater Palm Springs, CA, at Acrisure Arena.

He will make his way across the U.S. to several major markets and will hit a few bucket list venues such as Los Angeles’ The Greek Theatre, New York City’s Radio City Music Hall, and more. The run will come to a close on Saturday, October 25 in Estero, FL at Hertz Arena. 

Mitchell Tenpenny and Vincent Mason will join serve as special guests on the entire run.

“We spend a lot of time on the road it feels like I’ve been coming up my 10th year touring now and it feels like there’s always new places to play. And I really am excited about the artists that I’m taking out with us. I feel like at the end of it, I’m going to wish we had more dates,” Davis told CBS News.
