Co-written with Danick Dupelle (Emerson Drive, Tebey) and Patricia Conroy (Reba McEntire, Trisha Yearwood) and produced by Brent Rader (Dylan Scott), Rutland aimed to craft a song that painted the whirlwind and passion of falling in love. 

The writers started with the title “Kiss Me Like You Miss Me” and the remainder of the song developed from there. “‘Kiss Me Like You Miss Me’ is a fun, flirty song about falling head-first in love. It’s a song for long-distance lovers, sassy girlfriends, friends you miss, or just driving down the highway. It was a blast getting to create it with Danick and Patricia, and I am so excited to finally get to share it with the world,” Rutland commented. Fans can expect to see a music video for the track in early 2020.  

“Kiss Me Like You Miss Me” is a characteristic sneak peek of the thoughtful new tunes included on Rutland’s upcoming EP. Listeners should expect to hear a collection of tracks that are complete with captivating lyrics and represent a variety of life’s stages and milestones. Rutland commented, “This song, as well as all of my upcoming music, continues to feel more thought-through from a songwriting perspective. I’m really excited about the melodies, the instrumentation in the production, and just how we tried to craft creative lyrics during the writing process. I feel more involved with all of the pieces of this project and am excited to continue releasing music that feels like me.”
