Try That In A Small Town

It is unclear why the mainstream music industry thinks that Aldean’s latest hit is controversial. The singer used real news footage in the video accompanying the song, which showed rampant crime, destruction, violence, and social decline normalized in many parts of the U.S. over the last few years.

People tried to call the song racist, despite it not once mentioning race. “It’s been a long week, and I’ve seen a lot of stuff. I’ve seen a lot of stuff suggesting I’m this, suggesting I’m that. Here’s the thing, here’s one thing I feel: I feel like everybody’s entitled to their opinion,” Aldean said of the situation. “You can think something all you want to, it doesn’t mean it’s true, right?”
