Photos: Jordan Davis Releases New Single MESS
The track was co-written with Jacob Davis, Travis Wood and Paul DiGiovanni.
Jordan Davis has released a new single, MESS, a song that examines the temptation to return to a relationship despite knowing how it will end. Davis wrote the track with Jacob Davis, Travis Wood and Paul DiGiovanni, who also produced the song. MESS follows the release of Davis' album LEARN THE HARD WAY, which included three consecutive No. 1 singles.
'Mess' dives headfirst into the reckless side of heartbreak, capturing the undeniable temptation of letting someone back in when you already know exactly how the story ends. The song finds Davis putting a fresh, candid spin on the aftermath of heartbreak, finally convincing himself he has moved on, only to discover that the person who hurt him still has the power to undo all the progress he has made. Equal parts vulnerable, playful and unapologetic, the song captures the kind of chemistry that makes good decisions feel nearly impossible. 'Mess' embraces the contradiction at the center of its story: knowing someone can wreck your peace and wanting them to do it anyway.
Davis' 2025 album, Learn The Hard Way, earned three consecutive No. 1 singles with 'I Ain't Sayin',' 'Bar None,' and 'Turn This Truck Around.' The album produced Davis' 11th career No. 1 country radio hit and an 8 week run at the top of UK radio with 'I Ain't Sayin'.'
Davis' previous album, Bluebird Days, produced four consecutive No. 1 singles and Song of the Year honors for both 6X Platinum-selling 'Buy Dirt' and nearly 4X Platinum-selling 'Next Thing You Know.' The achievement marked the first time an artist had won Song of the Year accolades for two separate songs from the same album.
Davis is currently on tour across the US through October. He also recently released 'Like God Intended' as well as his chart-topping collaboration with Thomas Rhett, 'Ain't A Bad Life,' and, by fan-demand, a cover of James Bay's international hit 'Let It Go,' available now.
