What Happens In A Small Town

About this song

Brantley Gilbert and Lindsay Ell recorded the song as a duet, and it was released on January 14, 2019, as the lead single from Gilbert's fifth studio album, Fire & Brimstone. Gilbert wrote an early version and was unsure it would work as a hit, so he brought in Rhett Akins, Brock Berryhill and Josh Dunne to craft an uptempo, feel-good radio song. He then asked his label president, Scott Borchetta, for a female artist to sing with him, and Borchetta suggested Lindsay Ell.
