Randy
releases “Back In The Bottle,” tapping into the reckless, unforgettable nights
that linger long after last call
Multi-Platinum
hitmaker and powerhouse vocalist Randy Houser recently released his single
'Back In The Bottle' (Nov 21, 2025), out via Magnolia Music
Group.
Written
solely by Houser and co-produced by Blake Chancey, the song was sparked by a
late-night studio session withPost Malone, an experience Houser
recently shared with fanshere.

Leading up to the song’s release, Randy shared the inspiration for the song on socials: “When I had the idea for ‘Back In The Bottle,’ we went to the
studio…….Didn’t even leave to get started ‘til probably midnight. We did two
nights like that, and we were having a great time, writing and drinking.
So that gave me the idea: ‘If I could put last night back in the bottle,
I’d pull last night back down and drink it again.’”
Written solely by Randy and co-produced by Blake Chancey, “Back In The Bottle”
opens with the familiar wreckage of a rowdy night out, leading to a chorus that
embraces the kind of night you’d gladly repeat, consequences be damned:
I got three missed
calls from a number I don’t know My debit card got left out in the cold I got a Tootsie’s cup laying by my bed A steady bang banging in my head Hell, if I’da stayed home I wouldn’t be moving so slow
But if I could put last night back in the bottle Hell, I wouldn’t be in half the shape I’m in Yeah, if I could put last night back in the
bottle, Lord I’d pull last night back down and drink it again
The
release ignited a new chapter for Houser, who will be releasing new music
throughout 2026 as well as a long-overdue UK return in August 2026, calling the
crowds there “some of the best fans in the world”.
He
was recently announced as the headliner for Country Calling 2026 (August
14th-16th) in Chelmsford, UK, with additional dates to be revealed soon.
Houser
has built a formidable catalogue of country hits, including No. 1 singles
'Runnin’ Outta Moonlight', 'Goodnight Kiss', and 'We Went', along with the Top
5, CMA Song of the Year–nominated 'Like A Cowboy'. His chart-topping
album How Country Feels and subsequent releases have cemented his
reputation as one of country music’s most powerful and consistent vocalists,
amassing over 1 billion streams to date. His most recent album, Note To
Self (Deluxe) saw the Mississippi native trading powerhouse
moments with Cody Johnson, Justin Moore, Miranda Lambert and Riley Green.
In
addition to his music, Randy has recently made a notable crossover into acting,
appearing alongside Hollywood heavyweights. His credits includeMartin
Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and
Robert De Niro, and The Hill opposite Dennis Quaid, which became
Netflix’s most-streamed film in February 2024. His natural presence and
grounded performances have drawn attention from both film and music circles,
highlighting a genuine new facet of his artistry rather than a side experiment.
