“I Hate Whiskey”: Country Sensation Dylan Scott’s Compelling Return
Country star Dylan Scott is making a compelling return with his evocative new song “I Hate Whiskey,” a haunting exploration of sorrow and the heavy burden of heartbreak. As the latest installment from his highly anticipated third studio album, Easy Does It, out May 30, the song sets the tone for an album that balances themes of love, regret, and personal growth.
In this deeply emotional ballad, Scott masterfully captures a raw moment of regret, painting a vivid picture of a man grappling with the aftermath of lost love. Rather than relying on alcohol to numb his emotions, he confronts the painful reality that the echoes of heartbreak are inescapable, lingering like shadows. Written by Taylor Phillips, Michael Ray, Jon Kraft, and Jaxson Free, the song powerfully illustrates the inevitability of suffering, offering a poignant message that is sure to resonate profoundly with listeners.
Produced by Jacob Durrett, “I Hate Whiskey” pours a shot of regret over a smooth, mid-tempo production, allowing Scott’s distinctive vocals to take center stage. He captures each moment of emotion with effortless poignancy, quivering with the weight of every lyric. While paying homage to traditional country, he seamlessly brings a modern twist to his music—striking the perfect balance between old soul and contemporary flair.
Scott’s unique blend of heartfelt storytelling and confessional songwriting has earned him widespread recognition in the genre. With over four billion career streams, five No.1 singles, and a CMT Music Award for Breakthrough Video of the Year (Nobody), he continues to cement his place as one of country’s most compelling voices. His latest album, Easy Does It, showcases his most resonant work to date—a collection that reflects on love, loss, and life’s changing seasons.
Building on the album’s momentum, Scott is set to embark on his biggest headlining tour yet, the Country Till I Die Tour, kicking off April 3 in Boston and hitting 17 cities nationwide. With a high-demand Nashville show at The Pinnacle in September, plus chart success with This Town’s Been Too Good To Us climbing toward No.1, Scott’s career is reaching new heights.
With “I Hate Whiskey,” Dylan Scott once again proves his ability to turn heartache into something timeless—an anthem for anyone who’s ever felt the sting of love lost.
