"‘A Little More Summertime’ really hit me the
first time I heard it," said
Aldean. "It's always been about the
vibe of a song for me. So when that chorus hits and the song takes off, I knew
it had to be on this album."
Aldean joined
iHeartRadio to talk about meaning behind his brand new song:
Written by Jerry Flowers, Tony Martin and Wendell Mobley, Aldean has teamed up with longtime producer Michael Knox for the track and forthcoming album. With the same band on-and-off stage for a full decade, THEY DON’T KNOW returns with a crowd-pleasing array of emotions and observations, from sizzling party-starters to hard-earned heartbreak. With the new music, the coveted ACM Triple Crown winner reveals lessons learned and confidence gained over the course of a career that includes more than 14 million album sales. No longer just a newcomer bringing a new energy to country music, he’s truly an established star, one of the standard-bearers of the genre.
Musically, "A Little More Summertime" is
very similar to other Aldean hits and incorporates heavy guitar riffs in the
chorus and verses. A steel guitar is present with a solid, up-tempo drum beat
that moves the melodies along. In the verses, it's a battle for sound with just
the drums and the electric guitar on two separate, but mashing tempos that add
a unique blend to the song.
And if the melodies define this post-summer ballad,
the lyrics match that expectation. The first verse dives straight into a
regret, with Aldean setting the scene of a beach town when September hits …(Review

They
boarded up this water town
Ain't
nobody hanging 'round
Another
grey September day
Was I
crazy to think she'd stay
If that
sun had just
Hung up
in that sky
Just a
little
Just a
little bit longer
If
those blue water waves
Could've
stayed at our feet
Instead
of going out with the tide
If that
wind was a friend
It'd still be blowing in
It'd still be blowing in
Like a
warm southern whisper on her
She
might have stayed forever
And
never ever left these arms
If only
I
Had a
little more summertime
I brace
myself against the cold
And let
her memory take hold
Stirring
that old fire up
As if I
don't miss her enough

that’s sort of what the title track
is all about.”
