Singer/songwriter Brandon Wisham returns with his tender new single “Tears In Her Tequila.” Accompanied by a lyric video, the empathetic but undeniably catchy track spotlights Wisham’s captivating vocals and adventurous brand of country.

Written by Wisham, Micah Carpenter (Cole Swindell, Megan Moroney), and Bart Butler (George Strait, Bailey Zimmerman), “Tears In Her Tequila” arrives as a bittersweet country lament lit up in last-call neon. With both deep sensitivity and clear-eyed observation, the 23-year-old artist tells the tale of the heartbreak hiding beneath a wild night out.

Produced by Matt Geroux (Josh Ross, Just Jayne), “Tears In Her Tequila” centers on a remarkably restrained vocal performance from Wisham, who delivers the song’s narrative with a simmering intensity (the opening lines: “She’s wearin’ that goin’ out dress / But it ain’t what it looks like / Some boy made her heart a mess / Put a little more blue in her blue eyes”). In perfect lockstep with its barroom setting, the laid-back but hypnotic track fuses its classic country instrumentation with driving rhythms and dance-ready beats, taking on a soaring momentum at the chorus (“There’s tears in her tequila / But it’s still goin’ down / She’s tryna hide the leavin’ / But she can’t drown it out”). After shifting toward subtle flirtation in the second verse (“I’ll be the one to help you forget him / Let’s turn this night around”), Wisham builds to a message of warmhearted reassurance at the bridge: “There’s tears in her tequila / That should be a crown / Babygirl, I see ya, but it’s gon’ be alright.”
