Hannah Ellis is back with her latest single, “’90s Country,” which drops today alongside an official music video. This mid-tempo track offers a nostalgic nod to the beloved sounds of the 1990s while exploring the pain of heartbreak.
In “’90s Country,” Ellis reflects on how memories tied to classic songs from Deana Carter, Tim McGraw, Trace Adkins, Kenny Chesney, and Brooks & Dunn can be bittersweet after a breakup. The Kentucky native captures the essence of lost love, making the song relatable to anyone who has faced similar feelings.
Ellis co-wrote the track with Jason Duke and Jason Massey, who also produced it. She shares the story behind the song: “As I was growing up, I never allowed myself to fall in love to ’90s country songs, just in case we broke up. One day, after telling my husband he could finally listen to some Kenny Chesney with me, I wrote a song about what would happen if I had.” This personal connection adds depth to the track, inviting listeners to reminisce about their own experiences.
