“‘Ain’t It Easy’ is a song about how hard it is finding your person, but when you do find them everything that seemed hard all of a sudden seems so easy,” said Dover. “It really is a journey finding the right one, but once you do everything starts to fall into place.” 

Written by Dalton Dover, Matthew McVaney, Matt McGinn and Alex Maxwell, and produced by longtime collaborator Matt McVaney (McV), the song talks about mistakes made and finding new love.

That 17th summer, I swore I thought I loved her

But we were too young to make it work

There’s another girl in Athens, we tried to make it happen

For two hard years, oh man, it hurt

I had some ones that got away, a few heartbreak goodbyes, should’ve stopped at hello

But here with you today, there’s nothing I’d change if this is how it goes

It ain’t easy finding the right one

But all of the wrong ones led me to you

Baby, you’re everything that I want

So it was worth all I had to get through

It’s hard not to hold you, hard not to love you

Hard not to know what I got, girl, believe me

It ain’t easy finding the right one

But when you find them, that rest of your life one

Ain’t it easy

Dalton Dover encompasses the often difficult to describe emotional grip that finding the right one has on someone, drawing influence from the feelings that change the beat of your heart when they come into your life. With the busy, Spring wedding season looming on the horizon, “Ain’t It Easy” becomes a strong contender to make its mark on those forever playlists! - Todays Country Magazine

About Dalton Dover

Lauded by MusicRow as a “master country talent,” Dalton Dover’s newest track, “Ain’t It Easy,” is out now. 

Last year, the UMG Nashville/Mercury Records recording artist released the single “Bury Me In This Bar” and Take Me Home: Covers, which showcases his roots and influences growing up in Georgia. Dover’s debut radio single “Giving Up On That” was the most-added track at Country Radio upon its debut with 60 first week adds and can be found on his EP Never Giving Up On That, featuring eight tracks including “Night To Go,” “Baby I Am,” “Hear About A Girl” and more. 

Named a 2024 Tidal Artist to Watch, Pandora 2023 Artist to Watch, an Amazon Music 2023 Breakthrough Artist to Watch: Country Class and a member of CMT’s LISTEN UP 2023 Class, Dover made his Grand Ole Opry debut in December 2022, followed by his international debut in 2023 at C2C: Country to Country Festival’s CMA Songwriters Series. 

Dover will make his first appearance at CMC Rocks in Australia in 2025. Dover has been tour support for Sam Hunt, Chase Rice, Parker McCollum, Larry Fleet and Priscilla Block and played Luke Combs’ Whiskey Jam Bootleggers Tailgate Party.

By the age of 16, Dover had picked up a guitar and started teaching himself to play, yet it was his grandfather who turned him on to country music and artists such as Keith Whitley, Rhett Akins, Joe Diffie and Steve Wariner. Performances at local bars soon followed along with sharing covers of some of his favorite songs on TikTok. It was there he caught the ear of producer Matt McV and A&R veteran and founder of Droptine, Jim Catino, who quickly signed Dover. His debut track “You Got a Small Town,” produced by McV, quickly garnered critical acclaim from Billboard, MusicRow, Country Now and Wide Open Country. With his debut and his follow-up “Baby I Am” earning notable playlisting, Dover was named a Spotify Hot Country 2022 Artist to Watch along with a spotlight as Billboard’s February Country Rookie of the Month and a nod for MusicRow’s 2022 Discovery Artist of the Year.
