With an album title like Learn the Hard Way, you know Jordan Davis isn’t just dropping hits, he’s dropping knowledge and all the things he learned the hard way (pun obviously intended). This week, he will be Elaina Smith’s co-host on Backstage Country to talk about his latest album and its title track.
Smith said that she understands why “Learn the Hard Way” is the album’s title track. Davis admitted that it’s “crazy that you call a song that you’re not a part of your title track,” but shared how it came to be: “I go out to my producer’s studio, Paul DiGiovanni, and he’s done everything I’ve ever put out. Obviously, I think [he] cares about my music just as much as I do. I walk in, and he was like, ‘Hey, man, I got this song I want to play for you. I think it kind of fits what we’re doing.’ And he was, like, ‘Before you leave, remind me to play it for you.’ And immediately I’m like… ‘Paul put the song on.’ I’m not gonna be able to go write a song with him because he just doesn’t pitch me a lot of songs.”
