Lady Antebellum Launch 747
. "We unanimously knew that our album title had to be 747," Lady A vocalist Hillary Scott said in a press statement when the album was announced. "The track itself has this pushing, driving spirit about it that sums up our attitude right now. We are pushing ourselves as a band and as songwriters�taking ourselves out of our comfort zone and not taking ourselves too seriously. There's an urgency and an energy to it that we've never released before." Fans got a real taste of that "urgency" and new level of "energy" in the album's lead single "Bartender," which recently became the band's ninth No. 1. "Bartender" was written by the three bandmates along with veteran Nashville songwriter Rodney Clawson. Lyrically it's about drinking in the wake of a romantic split - familiar territory for Lady A, yet the song's attitude and spirit are vastly different than the group's best-known breakup song, "Need You Now." As Scott told Radio.com, in "Bartender," the female protagonist is "not going to drown in her tears. She's going to go have fun with her friends, experience life, and make a new memory. And I love that." The song marked a new creative direction for the band, one with a decidedly more uptempo beat. And that move was deliberate. "If we're trying to be a successful touring act for years to come we need to have these high-energy moments throughout our show�and coming out of the radio," Scott explained. Read more here.
