Mitchell Tenpenny just dropped his third studio album, The 3rd, produced by Jordan Schmidt and featuring 20 tracks – including the recently-released song, ‘Started Stoppin’.
Started Stoppin’ is written by Mitchell, Ashley Gorley, Chase McGill and Schmidt, and Tenpenny said of the track: “We wrote this song altogether at Ashley’s beach house. Someone said the phrase ‘started stoppin’ and it became our hook. It almost wrote itself. I think Chase came up with the best line in the song, ‘You quit loving me seven months ago. Last night I slept all night, that’s one night in a row.’ That line describes that feeling that you’re finally getting over them. I did it. I passed that mark and got over the hump. And then something happens that reminds you of them. I love how the song grooves with the bass and drums. It all came together lyrically and sonically. It’s one of my favorite songs I’ve ever done.”
Mitchell also recently launched his headlining “Woke Up In A Dream Tour” in Las Vegas at the Theater at Virgin Hotels, running through mid-November with Dylan Schneider as special guest.
