(Nashville,
Tennessee) Award-winning country music duo Thompson Square return with
their new single, “You Were There,” which dropped Friday, May 16,
2025 on T2 Records via Symphonic. Keifer Thompson delivers the powerful lead
before wife Shawna joins him to reveal their unmistakable harmonies. The lyrics
of this beautiful song, written by Josh Osborne, JT Harding and Ryan
Tyndell, reveal to the listener that when it comes to real love the
details don’t matter. It’s not about the memories, it’s about who you make
them with.

“’You
Were There’ was a must-record for us,” said Shawna. “From the first
listen, it drew us both in and we knew it had to be a single. It’s
the same feeling we had when we recorded ‘Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or
Not’ and ‘If I Didn’t Have You.’ For the first 10
listens of the demo, I cried. And when music moves you that way you need
to pay attention.”
“We have
recently reclaimed our independence as artists, and it is so
refreshing to be able to get back to doing what we do best,” added
Keifer. “We want to make music that means something to us not just
based on what’s ‘in’ at the time. I believe music is more
important than that. An artist should be true to who they are,
always. We believe that ‘You Were There’ represents the best of
Thompson Square and we can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”
Thompson
Square will be touring the country on their “Root’s Tour” beginning May 1 in

June 6, 2025 at the Chevy Vibes Stage at 1pm. Shawna will be performing a solo
concert highlighting music from her critically-acclaimed Lean On
Neon album at East Side Bowl in Nashville on June 10.

another.
The duo just
signed a worldwide recording deal with Reviver
Entertainment, as reported by The Tennesseean and MusicRow.Under
the new agreement, Reviver will release Thompson Square’s third album, MASTERPIECE, which Sounds Like
Nashville hails as “a work of art in itself” and finds One
Country heralding the duo’s “triumphant return.”
Featuring family themes and their signature romantic connection – plus a
boundary-pushing mix of Country, Rock, R&B and more – the project includes
the heartwarming “Masterpiece” title track, which Keifer wrote about his
crowning achievement – his family.
Meanwhile, a deeply-personal music video for the song was released in early
March, offering a peek into the duo’s home life through videos from Keifer’s
childhood, footage from the couple’s wedding day and clips of their
three-year-old son, Cooper, intertwined with an intimate live performance of the
track.

Speaking directly to fans, the husband-and-wife duo Keifer
and Shawna Thompson said: "Not only will this be the first official single in the UK it will be
accompanied by our first new music video in the UK as well. We’re so proud of
this project and can’t wait for you to hear it. This is the most representative
collection of songs that we’ve ever had. It’s a snap shot of our life over the
past couple of years, touching on the good times and the tough times too.
'Masterpiece' is a song written about our three year old son Cooper and the
love that Shawna and I have shared for some time now. This kid has changed
everything for us and becoming parents has been the greatest, most inspiring
thing we’ve ever done and that inspiration led us to this album. We hope you
love it as much as we do and we can’t wait to play it for you live
soon..."
The emotionally-charged video features real footage from
their lives, including shots from their wedding and other key family moments,
as well as a captivating new performance of the song filmed at the beautiful
Coleman Theatre in Miami, in Keifer's home state Oklahoma.
