Florida Georgia Line release new single and video for "Dirt" and it's a bit of a change for the Country music's party-friendly duo as boys start thinking about settling down in the lead-off single from their upcoming sophomore album. A plot of land tugs hard on Tyler Hubbard's and Brian Kelley's souls in this pensive ballad, offering up its history and its future, its memories and its potential. The clip sees a love through the years and showcases a sweet love story that truly comes full circle. From being young, in love (and dirty) to one of the partners in the couple passing away, the video cherishes it all.
Florida Georgia Line have said their new single would be different and they weren't lying. "Dirt" show the guys' sentimental side. The heartfelt mid-tempo ballad veers the duo far from the rising popularity of bro-country they embraced with such songs as "Cruise" and "This Is How We Roll," while featuring Hubbard and Kelley celebrating a couple who create a life on a dirt field, raise their family, surround it with a white picket fence, and enjoy the good life right there on their own little plot of the American Dream.
Kelley says "Dirt" really touched him and fellow bandmate Hubbard. "We had goose bumps the first time we heard it. With most of our other singles, you don't have to think at all, it's a self-explanatory feel-good song," he tells People Country. "But this one makes you dig a little deeper, makes you think about your life and where you're at and where you want to be." The video paints a similar image, couple epitomize the song and brings the song to life as it gives the song a nice narrative with noted songwriter-turned-actor JD Souther playing a husband eulogizing his wife, who has returned to the dirt.
The clip begins with Souther discussing the love of his life and why 1968 was such a meaningful year to him. "It was the first year that Rosie started bringing my lunch out to the field every day," he says. A young Rosie brings her farmhand boyfriend lunch before the two roll around in the mud. Then, it's their wedding day and he's chasing his young wife with the down-home mud on his hands. The couple proceed to have five children, one of which dies at birth. They teach their children the same value of a small town's dirt. Meanwhile, Florida Georgia Line sing their sentimental Southern song from a barn.
