Undiscovered: Five Devin Dawson Songs We Think You’ll Love

Known for being Blake Shelton’s co-writer for the 2019 ACM Single of the Year, “God’s Country” and the 2017 ACM New Male Vocalist of the Year nominee, we wanted to celebrate Devin Dawson's birthday, with a list of his songs we know you'll love.

1. “Asking For A Friend” from Dark Horse: Songs in the Key of F (Live) (2018)

Although this song is on the original Dark Horse album, this edition allows his raw emotion to shine even more. The perfect opportunity to dance with that special someone who is just asking for a friend.

“Let’s say that someone wanted to dance / Would he have any snowball in hell of a chance / To get you out on the floor before this slow song ends? / Oh hey, I’m just asking for a friend.”

2. “Symptoms” from Dark Horse (2018)

You will love this if you like raw, intimate songs like “Earned It” by The Weeknd.

“I started losing sleep, couldn’t catch a wink / High fever in the sheets, knees getting weak / My heart was skipping beats / She was running deep like a toxin that’s all in my system.”

3. “Range Rover” from The Pink Slip EP (2021)

Check out this music video below with his wife, Leah. The happy couple celebrated their two-year wedding anniversary in October. We’re definitely excited she didn’t mind that he drove a pickup with a broken AC and a bench seat! Dawson describes the song he wrote with Ben Rector as, “If Kanye’s Gold Digger was a country song.”

“I’m looking for a girl who sees past blown speakers / And a broke AC and a bench seat / With a quarter-million miles on the motor / And she was looking for that Range Rover.”

4. “War Paint” from Dark Horse (2018)

Did you just find your new favorite post-breakup anthem?

“Black mascara, Moulin Rouge / Blood red lipstick, high heeled shoes / It’s her turn to do him wrong / That ain’t makeup she got on / It’s war paint, war paint / Go on girl and make that man feel your pain.”

5. “He Loved Her” from The Pink Slip EP (2021)

Watch the music video below with Dawson’s grandpa, a WW2 veteran, “who lived his life like a country song.”

“He had a dog, he drank a beer / He drove the same truck fifteen years / He built a house up on some dirt / He wore his first name on his shirt / He said a prayer, got up at dawn / Showed up to cheer the home team on / He earned his keep and kept his word / He lived his life and he loved her.”

Happy birthday, Devin Dawson!
