Jason Aldean featured his wife, Brittany Aldean, in the 70s-inspired music video he premiered on Friday afternoon (November 21).
Aldean unveiled the “How Far Does A Goody Go” music video, telling the story of a relationship on the rocks. Longtime fans of the reigning Academy of Country Music Artist of the Decade said the rock-infused anthem makes them nostalgic for the early records in Aldean’s career, and simultaneously powers his new chapter forward. Brittany shared a behind-the-scenes look of the music video on the day of its premiere.
“How far/ Does a goodbye go/ Is it down to a corner bar/ Or outta town in a getaway car/ If it’s on a map this cowboy’s gotta know/ Is it a couple miles away comin’ up the road or on a midnight train on a runaway track/ How far does a goodbye go/ Till it don’t come back”
Aldean released “How Far Does A Goodbye Go” in September, dedicating the single to “anybody who has ever felt the sting of a breakup.”It was written by Tully Kennedy, Kurt Allison, John Edwards and John Morgan. “How Far Does A Goodbye Go” is one of 20 tracks that will appear on Songs About Us, Aldean’s upcoming studio record that he announced earlier this month. The project will also include “Help You Remember,” “Hard To Love You” and “Lovin’ Me Too Long,” plus collaborations with Luke Bryan (the title track), David Lee Murphy (“Dust on The Bottle”), and Brittany (“Easier Gone”).
“It means the world when one of my songs helps someone through a hard time—or celebrates their best moments,” Aldean said in a statement when he announced the record. “This album is about all of that—the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Every track started with a real story or feeling, and together we turned those experiences into music. In the end, I realized this album is about all of us. These are songs about us.”
