Tucker Wetmore Captures the Thrill of a Secret Summer Romance in ‘Sunburn’

Tucker Wetmore’s sizzling new track “Sunburn” captures the heat of a beachside romance. From sun-soaked days to late-night romance, the tune, out now via Back Blocks Music/MCA/ Mercury Records, immerses listeners in the thrill and intimacy of a secret summer fling.

Co-written by Ryan Hurd, Jaxson Free, and Daniel Ross and produced by Chris LaCorte, “Sunburn” tells the story of someone who embarks on a spontaneous solo getaway, with a goal of enjoying some down time and playing some songs on the beach. It was supposed to be a quick trip, but the man ends up “stayin’ all week” after meeting someone who was worth sticking around for.

“Was playin’ red red wine and you were sippin’ on yours/ You had your friend come up to me and ask if I’m on my own/ I asked her why and she said that girl over there wants to know/ A couple rum runners later and it was just me and you/ We said we won’t tell nobody but baby everyone knew ‘bout,” Wetmore sings in the opening verse.

As he illustrates in the chorus, a few drinks eventually turn into an all-consuming, heat-of-the-moment rendezvous between him and a mystery girl. Though the pair only spend a few nights together, he admits they’re able to tune out the rest of the world, making it feel like “we had our own island.”

Wetmore continues, “Them hotel sheets we were under/ Couldn’t tell you which room or number/ All I know is I was fallin’ in deeper/ And that door said do not disturb/ Yeah you hit me like a heat wave/ We stayed up all night all day/ Waves crashin’ outside like thunder/ Your body on mine like a sunburn.”

The Washington native’s vocals glide effortlessly over the breezy, laid-back instrumentation, perfectly capturing the warmth and intensity of a fleeting summer romance. With its mix of playful storytelling and heartfelt desire, “Sunburn” can easily be described as a carefree, sun-soaked anthem that leaves listeners longing to feel the sand between their toes and the rush of a connection that burns with the hot summer sun.

“Sunburn” follows the success of Tucker Wetmore’s fan-favorite track, “Brunette” which recently topped the U.K. Radio Country Airplay chart for three consecutive weeks and earned a spot in the Top 15 at Country radio in the U.S. Spawning from his debut album, What Not To, the hit has also racked up more than 225M U.S. streams.

Tucker Wetmore is currently heating up stages with his growing list of hits on The Brunette World Tour presented by NÜTRL Vodka Seltzer. He kicked things off in February with sold-out shows in Boston and New York City as well as his first-ever arena headlining show in Harrisburg, Pa. 17 new dates have since been added to the run, including shows in major markets such as Los Angeles, Chicago and more.

Wetmore will be joined by Maddox Batson, William Beckmann, George Birge, Jacob Hackworth, Braxton Keith and Stella Lefty for select dates.

Additionally, he’s set to head down under for dates in Australia, perform across the U.K. and EU, including three sold-out nights in London, and join Jordan Davis, HARDY and Brooks & Dunn on tour for select dates.
