Drew Baldridge Announces New Song "Deserve Her"

Country artist Drew Baldridge has announced the upcoming release of his earnest new song, “Deserve Her,” available everywhere August 22. Written by Baldridge alongside Harper Grace and Kyle Schlienger, the track reflects the sensitivity and deep appreciation for the women in his life that have become hallmarks of his music.

“When I wrote this song, I knew it would be such a great message for boys and girls to hear,” says Baldridge. “It talks about knowing a woman’s worth and that you can’t just ‘want her,’ but you gotta ‘deserve her.’ The second verse might be one of my favorite verses I’ve ever written. The words are so powerful, and it’s a message I look forward to sharing with my fans.”

The track’s poignant lyrics underscore that message:

You can take her daddy fishin’

But what about askin’ him for advice

You can go to church with her

But what about prayin’ over her at night

You can get her heart beatin’ just a little bit

Or you can get it goin’ wild

You can walk through this life with her

Or you can go the extra mile

“Deserve Her” follows Baldridge’s recent release, “Get Me Gone” featuring Emily Ann Roberts which the duo performed live for the first time together for a sold-out crowd at Red Rocks Amphitheater last month. It also comes on the heels of his second consecutive Top 10 country radio hit, “Tough People” (Lyric Ridge Records/Stoney Creek Records), further building on his momentum and ongoing partnership with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville.

In addition to a run of summer tour dates supporting Bailey Zimmerman and fall dates with Cody Johnson, Baldridge was recently announced as a performer at the NSAI Songwriter Awards, taking place at the Ryman Auditorium on September 23. Internationally, he will join Jelly Roll and Shaboozey on the Down Under Tour 2025 before launching his first overseas headlining trek, the Country Born Tour 2025, in the UK and Europe this winter.

ABOUT DREW BALDRIDGE:

Drew Baldridge has carved out a historic place in country music. His breakout hit, “She’s Somebody’s Daughter,”became the first independently released single to hit No. 1 on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart as an artist’s debut chart-topper. Released on his own Lyric Ridge Records, the heartfelt ballad is now RIAA Gold-certified, has generated over 1.1 billion streams and impressions, and remains the highest-charting self-funded song ever on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.

The song’s unprecedented success paved the way for Baldridge’s signing with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville/Stoney Creek. Under that banner, he delivered his second Top 10 single, “Tough People,” and previewed upcoming music with “Get Me Gone” featuring Emily Ann Roberts and his latest release, “Deserve Her.”

Baldridge’s growing profile has earned him spots in the CRS New Faces Class of 2025, recognition as an iHeart On the Verge artist, and MusicRow’s Independent Artist of the Year award.

As a Sony Music Publishing songwriter, Baldridge has penned more than 500 songs, with cuts by Bailey Zimmerman, LOCASH, and Chase Matthew. His touring résumé includes runs with country heavyweights Eric Church, Cody Johnson, Jason Aldean, and Luke Bryan. He is currently on tour with Zimmerman, with another leg alongside Johnson planned for later in the year.

Baldridge’s reach extends globally. In 2025, he will join Jelly Roll and Shaboozey for the Down Under Tour in Australia and New Zealand, before embarking on his first international headlining run, the Country Born Tour 2025, across the UK and Europe this winter.

From independent trailblazer to rising star on the major-label stage, Drew Baldridge continues to break barriers, build connections with fans, and shape a career that blends chart-topping success with grassroots authenticity.
