Kassi Ashton Releases New Song 'I Don't Go Back'

MCA Nashville and Interscope Records artist Kassi Ashton releases new song "I Don't Go Back," today. Written by Ashton with Luke Laird and Hillary Lindsey, "I Don't Go Back" is a slow, introspective track shows off Kassi's soulful voice as the lyrics allow her to reminisce over good parts of that past while being exactly where she wants to be in the present, "I'm a moving on, straight ahead.

Eyes on the road always does me best. I'm out with the old, in with the new. Yeah, I don't go back but if I did, it'd be to you," and "I don't miss who I was, I'm exactly where I wanna be now. These ain't tears, this ain't no flood. It's just a song that I can't turn down."

"My favorite part of songwriting is giving someone a real piece of myself from a certain time in my life," shares Kassi. "It's more than sharing a picture and it's more than sharing a story; it's sharing a feeling. When I wrote this song in 2017 with Luke and Hillary, we all put a piece of ourselves in it. I hope you listen and feel and find a piece of yourself too."

Along with the new song, Kassi brings two live performance videos to light today from a recent trip to VEVO Studio in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Kassi's debut radio single, "Dates In Pickup Trucks," is playing now on country radio. She also makes several appearances at next week's CMA Fest in Nashville including a performance on the Chevy Vibes Stage on Saturday, June 11.

With a little bit of rock, a hell of a lot of soul, and a throwback R&B groove, Kassi Ashton has crash landed on country radio with her latest song and radio debut, "Dates In Pickup Trucks."

"Kassi Ashton is in line for Nashville domination, and she'll do it her way - unapologetically," proclaims PEOPLE Magazine. Kassi brings a whole new attitude to country music.
