While it's a very deep and personal song, it highlights just about every emotion possible for those that were subject to parents of divorce growing up. Swindell's "3 Feet Tall" was co-written by Jordan Walker, Trannie Anderson, and Trey Lewis.

Swindell sings, "I got stuck in the middle of weekends and holidays / and my suitcase was too little to carry all that weight / I might not have understood it all / but not everything goes over your head / even when you're 3 feet tall."

The country singer shared the announcement on Instagram with the following message written to his fans.

"I can't believe the 1st song from Album 5 is finally out. Songs like these are why I fell in love with Country Music in the first place. For all of you out there that have lived it in any way, I'm here for you. I've been there too. Music is so powerful and I feel like this song is just special. I hope it hits a few of you out there like it does me. Love y'all."

The singer-songwriter immediately had country superstar Luke Bryan commenting, "f****** song right there," in which he replied, "learned from the best! Appreciate you brother!" Swindell previously joined Bryan out on the road for his 2019 'Sunset Repeat Tour' among other events.

Swindell's newest track follows his 2022 album, Stereotype, which features his fan-favorite hits "Single Saturday Night," "Never Say Never," "She Had Me At Heads Carolina," and "Drinkaby." A release date for his next album has yet to be announced.

Cole Swindell has been scoring country music hits since 2013, when he charted his very first number-one song on country radio, "Chillin' It." Before that time, he was a Nashville songwriter that moved to town from his native Georgia in 2007 and penned songs like 2013's "This Is How We Roll" for Florida Georgia Line and 2014's "Roller Coaster" for Luke Bryan.

Swindell worked for Bryan as a t-shirt-selling guy before he moved to Nashville and began his songwriting journey.

Cole has had a big 2023, as at the ACM Awards in May, he won awards for Song and Single for his collaboration and chart-topper with Jo Dee Messina's "She Had Me At Heads Carolina." When he won Song of the Year, he said, "I moved to Nashville, Tennessee because I wanted to be a songwriter, and that's what this award is. Jo Dee, I wouldn't have this song without you making the original hit; thank you so much."

He added, "There's a kid out there watching this tonight that's gonna get inspired by a song, and they're gonna follow it up and chase the dream just like we all did. God bless country music."

As Swindell celebrates his 40th birthday today (6/30), we ranked five of his number-one songs.

An upbeat, fun tune. Cole said, "The past few months have been hard for everyone, and I wanted to give the fans something fun to kick off summer." "Single Saturday Night" was what he called a "comfort gift" for fans because his tour was postponed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

His debut single and his first number-one song. Swindell released the song independently in March 2013 as a digital download. In July 2013, he signed a record deal with Warner Bros. Records Nashville, and they assumed promotion of the single and released it to country radio in August 2013. The song is included on Cole's self-titled debut album, which was released on February 18, 2014.

The first duet from Swindell and Wilson. Cole said when it came out, "I have been a fan of Lainey Wilson's for a while now, and what she brings to this song is everything it needed."

Swindell and Ashley Gorley wrote this beautiful song as a tribute to Swindell's father, who died unexpectedly while Cole was out on tour after signing his record deal. The beginning of the music video for this touching song features Swindell sitting in his truck and talking on his cell phone to his dad, telling him he was just signed to Warner Brothers Nashville.

This is a great song and an award winner at May's (2023) ACM Awards for Single and Song of The Year. The song's storyline is that the narrator falls in love with a woman who sings "Heads Carolina, Tails California" at a karaoke bar. Jo Dee Messina, who sang the original hit the song is about, makes a cameo in the music video as a bartender. A remix version of the song featuring Messina was released on November 7, 2022.
