Sam Hunt releases first song since Nashville DUI arrest, 'Sinning With You'
Nashville hitmaker Sam Hunt unveiled "Sinning With You" on Friday. It's his first song since being arrested for a DUI last November.
A crooning, country-pop ballad, "Sinning With You" was scheduled for release Nov. 22,, but the song was delayed because of Hunt's arrest Nov. 21.
On the introspective number, Hunt sings, "I never felt like I was sinning with you/ Always felt like I could talk to God in the morning/ I knew that I would end up with you/ Always felt like I could talk to God in the morning."
The song comes off a to-be-detailed album out this year, a news release said. Hunt co-wrote "Sinning With You" with Paul DiGiovanni, Josh Osborne and Emily Weisband.
In November, police charged Hunt with a DUI and open container violation after he allegedly drove the wrong way on Ellington Parkway in Nashville.
A four-time Grammy Award nominee, Hunt released his UMG Nashville debut, "Montevallo," in 2014. The album went triple platinum in the USA, boasting top-charting country singles such as "House Party" and "Take Your Time." In 2017, Hunt released the crossover hit "Body Like A Back Road," which spent 34 weeks topping the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
Hunt released "Kinfolk" last October. The song stands at No. 9 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart.
