Gary Allan has debuted his brand-new single, “Hangover Tonight" last month.
“Hangover Tonight” was written by Gary Allan, Cary Barlowe, Jesse Frasure, and Chris Stapleton
With its play on the word “hangover” and its playful production, Allan’s latest single has a happy and silly vibe with an infectious swampy groove.

The radio-friendly song, which features lyrics like, “We been hanging around this place / Hanging on to the hope in the way this whiskey tastes … Feelings getting stronger / How could this be wrong, girl? / All night long, girl / I wanna hangover tonight,” is presumably from Allan’s upcoming new album.
“I’m gonna do the tracks that I want,” he says of the to-be-released record. “Last time, I let Jay [Joyce] pick what he wanted, and then I let Mark [Wright] pick what he wanted, then I took the [leftovers]. I think I’ll probably cut what I want this time.”
“Hangover Tonight” certainly sounds like it could soar straight to No. 1, but if it does, it will be a surprise for Allan.
“I never watch the charts,” he tells The Boot. “It’s something I can’t control, and it drives me batty.”
