Lady Antebellum fell in love with their latest song, “What If I Never Get Over You,” the first time they heard it for several reasons. Dave Haywood says, “To me this song just stands out so much because it asks so many great questions that are unanswered. What if time doesn’t do it supposed to do? What if I never get over you? What if I’m trying and I just can’t get over you? I think we’ve all been there and I think that’s the relatability.”
The song also harkens back to Lady Antebellum’s biggest hit, “Need You Now,” which was also a heart-aching duet, and Dave says, “Telling both sides of the story, I don’t know, just to be able to tell both sides of the male and female perspective is just something that I feel like we just got away from a little bit. And so, it’s exciting to be back doing that again and it felt like us, and somehow this one feels like something we wrote more than some of the other ones we have written.”
“What If I Never Get Over You” is the first single off Lady Antebellum’s debut album on BMLG Records, which will be released later this year.

What if I’m trying and I just can’t get over you? I think we’ve all been there and I think that’s the relatability.
