John Morgan Talks Calling on Jason Aldean for Radio Single ‘Friends Like That’: ‘How Fun Is It Now That It’s Two Friends Singing Together?


John Morgan & Jason Aldean's "Friends Like That" is about a breakup that is soothed by friends like “Willie,” “Jack” and “Waylon."

Morgan wrote “Friends Like That” during September 2020 – the height of the pandemic – at Cornman Music in Nashville, where songwriter Will Bundy (“Half Of Me,” “Brown Eyes Baby”) maintains an office. They were joined by Lydia Vaughan (“If I Didn’t Love You,” “Out Of That Truck”) and Brent Anderson (“Cab In A Solo,” “Lonely Tonight”), ostensibly a group of writers who’ve been interacting with each other in different combinations for several years. In the end, “Friends Like That” will sink or swim on the lead voices, the breezy outlaw references and the self-deception that’s hiding just beneath the surface of the song’s relentless pulse.
