Thomas Rhett revealed the track listing, songwriters, featured artists and cover art for his upcoming fourth studio album, Center Point Road, which will drop on May 31.
The 16-song album takes its name from the street in his Tennessee hometown that shaped much of his life experiences. TR co-penned every track on the album, which also features a whoâs who of top songwriters, including Shane McAnally, Ashley Gorley, Jesse Frasure, Karen Fairchild and more.
In addition, the album features a number of collaborations with other artists, including Kelsea Ballerini (âCenter Point Roadâ), Little Big Town (âDonât Threaten Me With a Good Timeâ) and Jon Pardi (âBeer Canât Fixâ).
âFor me, Center Point Road really symbolizes what it was like to grow up in Hendersonville [Tennessee],â says TR. âFirst dates, first football games, first heartbreak, first kisses, success and failures. I really feel like that road shaped who I am today, and it felt fitting because the record, for the most part, is pretty nostalgic. Songs like âAlmost,â âThat Old Truckâ and especially âCenter Point Road,â really describe who I was as a kid and teenager, and who Iâve become as an adult.â

To get the party started, TR has released the albumâs uptempo lead single, âLook What God Gave Her.â
âI think I played this song 2,000 times in a month after we first wrote it,â says Thomas Rhett. âIt makes me want to dance. It makes me want to move. And to me, the song really is a celebration of how awesome my wife is. I know Iâve done that in the past, but Iâve never really done it in an uptempo way.â
