Background

[edit]

Following two top 20 singles from Dunn's debut solo album, Ronnie Dunn, the third single, "Let the Cowboy Rock" was released in January 2012. The single stalled at #31 on the Country charts and Dunn asked his fans through Facebook what they thought the fourth single should be. After this post, Dunn was called by Sony when they informed him that his Facebook post "killed" the "Let The Cowboy Rock" single. Dunn then suggested that the fourth single from the album be "Once". The single was never released. On June 7, 2012, one year after the release of the album, Dunn announced on Facebook that he and Sony had parted ways.

On June 4, 2013 Dunn released a promo single "Country This" and the lead off single "Kiss You There" to SiriusXM radio. On June 6, 2013, Dunn performed the two songs along with "Cowgirls Rock 'N Roll" and the title track from the album "Peace, Love, And Country Music" at the 2013 CMA Music Fest following the 2013 CMT Music Awards.

On June 9, 2013, Dunn announced his new record deal with indie label HitShop Records. The deal was to be a joint effort between HitShop and Dunn's own Little Will-E Records with HitShop assisting in radio distribution. However, after an unsuccessful run with "Kiss You There", LWR and HitShop parted ways.

On November 19, 2013 the second single "I Wish I Still Smoked Cigarettes" was released. To promote the single, Dunn embarked on a small radio tour. He also performed on TV talk show such as Dr. Phil, The Doctors, and The Talk.

On January 22, 2014, another promo single "Grown Damn Man" was released through iTunes.
