Thomas Rhett revealed the track listing, songwriters, featured artists and cover art for his upcoming fourth studio album, Center Point Road, which will drop on May 31.
The 16-song album takes its name from the street in his Tennessee hometown that shaped much of his life experiences. TR co-penned every track on the album, which also features a whoās who of top songwriters, including Shane McAnally, Ashley Gorley, Jesse Frasure, Karen Fairchild and more.
In addition, the album features a number of collaborations with other artists, including Kelsea Ballerini (āCenter Point Roadā), Little Big Town (āDonāt Threaten Me With a Good Timeā) and Jon Pardi (āBeer Canāt Fixā).
āFor me, Center Point Road really symbolizes what it was like to grow up in Hendersonville [Tennessee],ā says TR. āFirst dates, first football games, first heartbreak, first kisses, success and failures. I really feel like that road shaped who I am today, and it felt fitting because the record, for the most part, is pretty nostalgic. Songs like āAlmost,ā āThat Old Truckā and especially āCenter Point Road,ā really describe who I was as a kid and teenager, and who Iāve become as an adult.ā

To get the party started, TR has released the albumās uptempo lead single, āLook What God Gave Her.ā
āI think I played this song 2,000 times in a month after we first wrote it,ā says Thomas Rhett. āIt makes me want to dance. It makes me want to move. And to me, the song really is a celebration of how awesome my wife is. I know Iāve done that in the past, but Iāve never really done it in an uptempo way.ā
