Jake Owen has released a new music video for "Real Life" featuring pop-up captions detailing the making of the visual. "Real Life" is the lead single from Owen's upcoming album, which will be a departure for him artistically, he says.
"I'm not shying away from my heritage and being from Florida, but I think I played that card a lot on the last couple records, and I didn't want to come out this summer with another beach song . . . but I did want to come out with a song with that anthemic chorus."
"My whole record, honestly, revolves around when I was a kid growing up in Vero Beach, Fla., growing up 50 feet from the ocean . . . that's right around the time Sublime put that [self-titled] record out," he added.
"I've never made a record like that before. I've made a record with a bunch of random songs on it that worked on radio, but I want a piece of material that is consistent throughout each song, that talks about that feeling of growing up. The feeling of looking back and the feeling of appreciating it all."
