When Drew Baldridge wrote his new single, “Get Me Gone,” he knew it needed a voice that could match its emotional pull and it’s safe to say that Emily Ann Roberts delivered. Together, they deliver one of the most heartfelt country duets of the summer that’s available now on all streaming platforms via Lyric Ridge Records/BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville.
The emotionally-charged track was Written by Baldridge alongside acclaimed songwriters Josh Jenkins, Allison Veltz Cruz, and Trannie Anderson, and produced by Nick Schwarz. “Get Me Gone” captures the intense pull of a magnetic connection between two people whose voices intertwine with honest emotion and an unbreakable tension.
Each verse exchanged between Baldridge and Roberts is filled with a desire to hold onto a love so tight that it feels like nothing else matters in the world. With vivid imagery the track highlights Baldridge’s knack for pulling at your heartstrings through his storytelling grounded in heartfelt truth.
“Get me gone like a nowhere wind/ Gone like a pawn shop vinyl/ Yeah gone like an old coal train/A devil at a tent revival/ Yeah goner than that sinking sun/ And the red dress you had on/ Let me drink you in like whiskey
Kiss me get me gone/ Yeah baby get me gone,” They come together to deliver on soulful chorus that sits under the glow of a delicate melody.
The song wouldn’t be what it is without the addition of Emily Ann Roberts’ kind spirit and twangy southern accident. Luckily, all it took was a simple message exchange and one listen to the song to have Roberts hooked on the chance to lend her vocals to the narrative.
“As soon as I wrote this song, I knew it’d be a powerful duet,” says Baldridge. “It took me a while to find the perfect voice for it, but one day I came across Emily Ann on social media and I loved her sound. So I just hopped in her DMs and asked if she’d collab with me! It’s been amazing to work with her on this song.”
“When Drew sent me the song I knew he had something special. I was honored he wanted to include me on it. ‘Get Me Gone’ immediately makes you think of the person you love and how you don’t need anything but them to have a good time,” she added.
Following his second consecutive Top 10 country radio hit with “Tough People,” this duet continues to build on Baldridge’s rising momentum and his ongoing partnership with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Plus, “Get Me Gone” gives fans another glimpse into all the new music expected to drop from the country act later this year.
This summer, Drew Baldridge is tackling a slew of summer tour dates supporting Bailey Zimmerman. On top of that, he was recently announced as a performer at the NSAI Songwriter Awards, which is set to place at the Ryman Auditorium on September 23.
