  DYLAN SCOTT - Country Till I Die - Curb Records

As he gears up for a raucously exciting beginning to 2025, Dylan Scott is releasing his final tune of the year, one that will have the toes tapping and boots stomping from start to finish.  “Country Till I Die” is available now, both digitally and on all streaming platforms, via Curb Records.

Written by Taylor Phillips, Charlie Handsome, John Byron and Ben Johnson, this is rowdy anthem to its core, depicting the world he grew up and the values and morals he instills to this day.  Its unapologetic approach to paying homage to this way of life is something fans of the chart-topping star have loved about him for years, and he is showing no signs of slowing down, always seeming to deliver what his fans want to hear.

“’Country Till I Die’ is such a fun, up-tempo song that reflects how I grew up and who I am,” said Scott.  “My kids are the biggest fans of this song, and it’s been a perfect addition to my live show.  Looking forward to seeing who else is Country Till They Die out on the road this spring.”

The song shares the same name as Dylan’s upcoming spring headlining Country Till I Die Tour, which will hit 17 cities coast to coast.  A rhythmic, fist-pumping melody provides the perfect backdrop for the sing-along lyrics, which are taken to a new level throughout the rampantly intense chorus.

“C-O-U-N-T-R-Y, I’ll be country till I die

Every day and every night, it’s the only way of life

I’ve ever known, that’s how Daddy raised me

You got me wrong if you think that you can change me

I like it, man, I love it, wouldn’t trade it for nothing

C-O-U-N-T-R-Y, I’ll be country till I die”

One of the trademark elements of Scott’s music over the years has been its unapologetic approach to infuse other genres into his brand of country.  Always lending himself to the modern vibe of country music, Dylan once again delivers the same attitude with “Country Till I Die”, featuring an upbeat, bumping melody that could easily land itself on pop radio from a musical standpoint.  His vocal delivery and natural twang bring the tune back to the country side a bit, alongside the obvious lyrical inferences.  From start to finish, this is a song that grab’s the listener’s attention and won’t let go until the very end.

The award-winning artist continues to be no stranger to the Country Airplay charts as he sits in the Top 5 and nears the Top 15 with “Boys Back Home” with Dylan Marlowe and “This Town's Been Too Good To Us” respectively. He began 2024 in a deluxe way, releasing Livin' My Best Life (Still), a 26-song collection that became his highest-charted album on the Billboard Top 200 upon release. The album has already sparked five GOLD or PLATINUM singles, three No. 1 songs, as well as multiple tracks on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart this year. The album also features RIAA PLATINUM certified No. 1 hit “Can't Have Mine (Find You A Girl)” and “surefire hit” (MusicRow) “What He'll Never Have.”

Kicking off in April, the Country Till I Die Tour will also feature special guests George Birge, Dasha and Graham Barham on select dates.
