Kenny Chesney Narrates Heartfelt ‘Take Her Home’ Music Video

Kenny Chesney brought his chart-climbing single, “Take Her Home,” to life in a brand new video.

The East Tennessee native takes on the role of the narrator for the clip, guiding viewers through the heartfelt storyline of the song. The narrative unfolds as a man and woman meet at a bar and eventually go on to enjoy pivotal moments in life together, such as falling in love, getting married, and having a baby. As the story plays out in a dream-like sequence, Chesney is seen performing the song in the bar where they initially crossed paths. 

“Everything about this song is a little movie. Each verse is its own act, and you can see all the details if you’re listening. The deep cut Cheap Trick on a jukebox in a crowded bar… the pink and black suitcases… even the little baby in the last verse. There’s so much detail, people can see it in their heads,” Chesney explained upon the video’s release. 

“I wanted to figure a way that mirrors the innocence in this song. I wanted something that wouldn’t take away what someone else was seeing when they saw the video. It seems like the opposite from what you might do, but I think it’ll make sense when people see it.”

Watch

Leaving room for viewers to interpret their own lives and stories through the song, the video does exactly what Chesney hoped it would.  

“Songs like ‘Take Her Home’ deserve to paint pictures for the listeners,” he pointed out. “When you can see yourself, or your friends, or someone you know in a song, that’s when a song will last long after it’s done playing. To me, this song has that potential for people… and as much as I like making videos, I also know the power of No Shoes Nation’s ability to live in my songs.”

“Take Her Home” Will Appear On Chesney’s New Album, BORN

“Take Her Home” was co-written by Zach Abend, HARDY, and Hunter Phelps and released in November. The song is the first taste of Chesney’s just-announced new album, BORN. Out on March 29, the highly anticipated project serves as the follow-up to 2020’s Here and Now. The album was recorded at various studios around Nashville and will feature several songs co-written by the eight-time Entertainer of the Year. 

With the anticipation for new music building upon his fanbase, the singer/songwriter went all-in and announced the album earlier this week.    

“You never want to think it’s all about you, or that in this crazy world, it’s all about your music,” he said when announcing BORN. “I’m just trying to find songs that continue the story of who we are…how we live, breathe, work, rock, kick back, and sometimes get tangled up in feelings that are anything but simple. Then you see people react the way they have to the news, and you go, ‘Well, okay…’

In addition to revealing the title and release date, he also shared the album cover art with fans. 

“I’d already decided on the cover because it was something clean and simple and true. It’s the kind of picture that says everything, but leaves plenty of room for everything else,” he explained in a statement. “My friend Allister shot it, and it’s just me looking straight into No Shoes Nation. When I saw it, it was really the only choice for this record.”

The official tracklisting for BORN has yet to be revealed, but fans can expect “Take Her Home” and the title track, “Born” to be among the songs on the record.

Upcoming Tour

Weeks after releasing BORN Chesney will launch his Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour at Tampa, Florida’s Raymond James Stadium. The trek will visit stadiums around the country before wrapping up with an unprecedented three consecutive nights at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.
