Jon Pardi has debuted “She Drives Away,” the latest track from his fifth studio album Honkytonk Hollywood, set for release on April 11th.

“She Drives Away” was written by Zach Abend, Jimi Bell, Seth Ennis and Jordan Minton and produced by Jay Joyce, and per a press release “poignantly captures the emotional journey of a father witnessing his daughter grow up and letting her go.”

Pardi said in a statement: “‘She Drives Away’ is a song that I knew I was going to record immediately. I think most dads of daughters will relate to it, but it reminded me so much of Summer and my journey. From when we started dating, to asking her dad for her hand in marriage, and then having our daughters. Now, I’ll go through it from the other side with my daughters. It’s a special song, and I’m really excited for people to hear it.”

The new song off Pardi’s 17-track album, Honkytonk Hollywood follows the previously-released “Friday Night Heartbreaker,” the title track,  and “Love The Lights Out.”  Pardi shared of the new album: “all my albums have been rock and roll with a country flare – this one keeps on rockin’. It’s also the most grown-up record I’ve ever made, all my soul basically. ‘Honkytonk Hollywood’ is for the Nashville that’s in my blood and it’s also a nod to my California roots. And right now, more than ever, I hope it’s a way to honor and lift up the people of my home state.”
