Dylan Scott Drops Infectious New Single, ‘I Hate Whiskey’, and Announces Third Album, ‘Easy Does It’

Dylan Scott has returned with a brand new single, ‘I Hate Whiskey’, which is set to appear on the ‘Can't Have Mine (Find You a Girl)’ hitmaker's third studio album, Easy Does It.

The eagerly anticipated record continues the momentum following Scott's widely lauded deluxe Livin’ Me Best Life (Still) project, which arrived exactly a year ago to the day.

Easy Does It drops on May 30th, with Dylan Scott cementing his status as one of the leading figures in the contemporary country scene through his addictive fusion of country and Hip-Hop.

It could be seen as a risk to release a country song titled ‘I Hate Whiskey’, given how pivotal this firewater is to the genre, but the track succeeds in flipping the classic trope on its head. The addictive new single finds Dylan Scott lamenting the fact that, no matter how many bottles of Jack he burns through, he can't get his old flame off his mind.

Penned by Taylor Phillips, Michael Ray, Jon Kraft, and Jaxson Free, with Jacob Durrett taking the helm for the production, ‘I Hate Whiskey’ ensures expectations remain sky-high ahead of Easy Does It, with fans hoping Dylan Scott decides to treat us to another single or two before the full project's May 30th release date.

In addition to ‘I Hate Whiskey’, Easy Does It, which is available to pre-order now, will feature some stand-outs from Scott's expanded Livin’ My Best Life (Still) project, including the powerful, bittersweet ‘What He'll Never Have’ and ‘You'd Think I Was a Cowboy’. With the pre-order, fans can also immediately stream the rowdy, energising earworms, ‘This Town's Been Too Good To Us’ and ‘Country Till I Die’.

Along with these already-out offerings, Easy Does It will include two rose-tinted odes to Dylan Scott's wife, Blair Anderson, ‘Twice’ and ’Til I Can't, I Will’. The Louisiana singer-songwriter teased both songs, alongside the project's title-track, via Instagram earlier in the week, with fans clamouring for a release as soon as possible.

Dylan Scott has always struck a compelling balance between hell-raising, muscled-up anthems and heartwarming, lovestruck ballads, with the ‘My Girl’ crooner's ability to nimbly blur the lines between genres offering him more tonal versatility than many.

For instance, Dylan Scott leans into his country roots with the fiery, electric-guitar-fuelled ‘Country Till I Die’ - which inspired the name of his 2025 tour - while on the sleek ‘You'd Think I Was a Cowboy’, Scott flirts with a trap and R&B-driven ambience. On the latter, the ethereal whistling injects a Wild West feel into the track, again consolidating the two-time ACM Awards nominee's genre flexibility.

As a result, we can't wait to hear all eleven tracks on Easy Does It, including the never-heard-before ‘Back Forty’, ‘Smoke Follows Beauty’ and ‘I Owe You One’, in a couple of months’ time.
