Jordan Davis Secures 5th Number One Single with “What My World Spins Around”

/in , , /by

 Jordan Davis earns his fifth number-one song at country radio this week with his single, “What My World Spins Around.” Learn all the details here.

In our humble opinion, Jordan Davis’ talent is still extremely underrated. While the singer-songwriter has been garnering more and more fans over the last few years, his career has been a continuous trajectory, rather than an explosion to superstardom. We believe that the Country Swag 2018 Artist to Watch is going to make it to superstar status. This week, Davis secured his fifth number-one single at country radio with his anthemic song, “What My World Spins Around,” following the recent success of “Buy Dirt.”

Davis’ single is a combination of a love song and nostalgia. Throughout the verses, the singer shares all the things he loves about his life and his world. In the chorus, we learn that the love of his life is truly everything to him. Davis does all of that while making the song catchy too! The song won over fans and radio almost instantly with this killer tune.

“The way that it feels when you lean in and kiss me // The way that you dance when you get kinda tipsy // I’m wrapped ’round your finger like this ring I’m wearing // That look in your eyes, girl, when you catch me staring and // I don’t even know what it is but now that I found it // I can’t imagine me living without this // Back forty view on our piece of ground // Watching you watch the sun going down // That’s what my world spins around”

Congrats to Jordan Davis and his team on his fifth number one at country radio!
