Sam Hunt joins a lively party after spending the afternoon on the water in his new music video for “Water Under The Bridge,” which premiered on Friday (July 15).
Hunt released the nostalgic, upbeat song last month. He wrote it with Chris LaCorte, Shane McAnally, and Josh Osborne, taking on both literal and metaphorical meanings: “…it’s really about that little place that most small towns have,” Hunt said in a statement at the time. “In my case, it was a little hangout spot down by the river up under an old backroad, and we used to gather up there – folks have been gathering up there long before we came along and I’m sure still gathering up there now – but on Friday and Saturday night go out there to have a good time, let our hair down a little bit, get into a little bit of trouble. We made a lot of memories out there.”
Since its debut, “Water Under The Bridge” has served as a perfect summertime anthem. It’s one that Hunt recently told iHeartCountry follows the theme of his next project:
“This next record, thematically, sort of took on a life of its own about three or four songs in, and I finished the record based on that theme. It was a song about coming full-circle, leaving your small town, following a sense of adventure, seeing the world, and...coming back home. The first single off the record is ’23,’ and this next song is about being back home and going to visit some of the places that you made a lot of memories growing up. The title is ‘Water Under The Bridge.’ It’s literal and metaphorical. But, at the same time, it’s pretty light-hearted. …I’m happy to have a fun, upbeat song to play live.”
