Jimmie Allen plans to debut another song ahead of his third full-length album’s release. It’s “one of the most personal songs” on the whole project, and the “Freedom Was A Highway” hitmaker hinted that he’d share more details about it later.

On Tuesday (June 7), Allen took to social media to share a 36-second snippet of “Settle On Back,” one of the songs on Tulip Drive — a project named after the street Allen’s grandmother lived on in Delaware — that’s set to release on June 24. Allen dubbed the song “one of my favorites from this new album,” and promised to “explain later” why it’s such a personal track.

Allen will celebrate Tulip Drive’s release with an exclusive iHeartCountry Album Release Party presented by AT&T Dream In Black. The 17-track project will include a few songs fans will recognize, including “Down Home” and “On My Way,” a reimagined song with Jennifer Lopez from her latest movie, Marry Me. Other collaborations on the album include CeeLo Green and T-Pain, and Katie Ohh. Fans can listen and tune in free for a stream of the exclusive iHeartCountry Album Release Party with Jimmie Allen presented by AT&T Dream In Black on Thursday, June 23rd at 7pm PT/10pm ET via iHeartRadio's YouTube channel. Fans can also listen to the show via iHeartRadio's iHeartCountry Radio station.
