NASHVILLE, Tenn.— From his current Top 20 single “Get to You” about breaking down emotional walls to exploring the bond between father and son in “Real Men Love Jesus,” Michael Ray is no stranger to sharing his sensitive side with fans.

In “Her World Or Mine,” the latest track released from Ray’s forthcoming album Amos, he examines both sides of a breakup and how painful moving on can be.

One of us still has our picture taped up on the dash

One of us took that one from Mexico, threw it in the trash

One of us don’t even notice
When the radio plays that song
One of us breaks down and has to pull over
Whenever it comes on
No there ain’t no in between
When it comes to her and me

One of us moved on, one of us got stuck
One of us is drinkin’ just for fun
One of us is drinkin’ to get drunk
One of us sleeps good
One of us hates to face the night
Just depends if you’re talkin’ about
Her world or mine

The track couldn’t have come at a more appropriate time in Ray’s personal life.

"When I was in the studio recording this song, I struggled to get through it sometimes," recalls Ray, "I thought 'Man, I am living every lyric of this song right now.' At the time, I was going through a tough breakup, and on this album, I really want my fans to see me for me and be able to relate to that."

“Her World Or Mine” is the third track available to fans from Amos. It follows lead single, “Get To You” and “Fan Girl,” which Rolling Stone describes as a “pop-heavy heap of electronics, guitars, R&B grooves and synthesizers.”

Pre-order the album. Amos is available everywhere June 1.

About Michael Ray
Country singer-songwriter Michael Ray was a hit right out of the box, scoring both with critics and on the charts. With Country Aircheck boasting there are "big things on the horizon for Michael Ray" and his live shows lauded by USA Today as simply “lip-smacking good," the Florida native backed up that praise with two number ones from his 2015 self-titled debut album with “Kiss You in the Morning” and “Think a Little Less.”

His sophomore album, Amos, named for his grandfather and produced by the legendary Scott Hendricks (Alan Jackson, Faith Hill, Blake Shelton) will be released June 1. The album has already spawned the hit single “Get to You,” now climbing the Billboard charts and praised by Rolling Stone for its “impassioned chorus” and Ray’s impressive vocal range. Inspired by his rescue dog Wrigley, Ray also recently launched the charitable initiative Wrigley Cares: Helping Animals in Need, collecting donations for local animal shelters at every stop on his “Get To You" Tour. This summer Ray hits the road to play a variety of shows and festivals including Carolina Country Music Fest 2018 with Luke Bryan, Zac Brown Band and Cole Swindell.
