January 13, 2023/in Blog, New Music, News /by Erica Zisman

Griffen Palmer makes label debut with new song “Second Guessing,” out now, January 13th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

NBC Songland’s Griffen Palmer is making his major label debut as Big Loud Records’ newest signee. The singer-songwriter first dazzled fans on the hit show, even winning his episode. Iconic duo, Florida Georgia Line recorded his song, “Second Guessing.” Now, Palmer is sharing his debut rendition of the song, out today.

From the moment he sang it on the show, it was clear that “Second Guessing” was a hit country song. Palmer’s knack for songwriting is obvious, and he has the vocals to back it up. The love song is a confident portrayal of what it feels like to be with the right person. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we imagine that this song is going to steal the spotlight, even more than it already has.

“That since I met you, I // I ain’t spent one second guessin’ // Lord knows I’ve tried // ‘Cause I’ve had my heart broken in every direction // Too many times // But I saw the rest of my life with one look in your eyes // I’m confessing // That I ain’t spent one second guessin'”

“Second Guessing” is just the beginning for Palmer. He has paved his own path in country music thus far. Now with a team like Big Loud backing him, fans can expect more music and a debut album slated for release sometime this year.

As a songwriter, Kelley has the unique ability to wear his heart on his sleeve, even when expressing topics that are tough for many to hear about. “As Far As You Could Go” is one of the most important songs in country music right now.

“But you scared me half to death // Thought I couldn’t hit that stage // Without you runnin’ through my veins // Now I sing the songs I always have // But the meaning’s bound to change // ‘Cause you took me high, but you sure as hell brought me down // We said goodbye, but I’m gonna see you around // And to tell the truth, I thought I never would // But it’s time I finally put you down for good // ‘Cause you’ve taken me as far as you could”

“This song is my goodbye letter to alcohol…” Kelley shared. “I wrote ‘As Far As You Could’ with my bandmate Dave and the talented Jimmy Robbins and this is the demo. This song was very therapeutic to write and I hope it can meet someone where they are.” Congrats to Kelley for having the courage to share this song with the world!

“I left my heart at a waterin’ hole // Somewhere in smalltown, Ohio // Headed out west to Arizona // ‘Cause the east coast weather’s too cold, cold, cold // Easy come, easy go // I got a fast car with the ’90s on // Not a soul on the road, but the road is home // Smiles for miles // All upon my face (my face) // Wear it, share it // ‘Cause we ain’t got time to waste // Up, in your giddy up! // Giddy, giddy up!”
