Eric Church is continuing to share new music with fans from his upcoming album, releasing his new song "Doing Life With Me" on Friday (December 11).
The track, written by Church alongside Casey Beathard and Jeffery Steele, is a reflective love song to all those who have stood by him through his life and career.
"I don't pray much anymore for this old troubadour's / Happiness, wishes, wants and needs / End of my ropes, hopes and dreams," Church sings on the chorus. "Am I living, giving thanks for the ships I never sank? / Every big, every little in the everyday things / The notes and the words in the songs I sing / To the ones doing life with me."
"Doing Life With Me" is one of 28 songs Church wrote and recorded earlier this year during a writing retreat in North Carolina for his yet-to-be-titled seventh studio album.
"We secluded ourselves in the mountains of North Carolina, and I would get up in the morning and write a song, and we would record the song that night," Church previously said of a writing retreat. "And the thinking was, we would remove all the barriers of what people think, or a publisher thinks, or a label thinks. It was really letting creativity be creativity."
Church has also previously released several other songs written during the retreat including his current single, "Hell Of A View," "Stick That In Your Country Song," "Through My Ray-Bans," "Bad Mother Trucker," and "Crazyland." In addition to the official releases, Church has also shared previews with fans of unreleased tracks including "Never Break Heart" and "Jenny."
Church's forthcoming album will arrive sometime in 2021, although no further details have been officially shared at this time. The new project follows 2018's Desperate Man record.
