Jana Kramer Reveals the Meaning Behind Each Song On 'Thirty One'

Age thirty one is turning out to be an excellent year for Jana Kramer. The country singer married NFL tight end Mike Caussin, revealed that she and her husband are expecting a baby girl, AND she released a brand new album, appropriately titled Thirty One.

Thirty One is Jana's second studio album, which features eleven new songs — including her two singles "Love" and latest hit "I Got The Boy." Many of the tracks were written by Jana herself, along with writers like Catt Gravitt, Jimmy Robbins, and more. Jana tells us her new album is all about her life, and says, "It's good times, bad times, the best times, and just living every emotion, and going on a ride."

Kramer also revealed the meaning behind each track on Thirty One, and explained what each song is about and what inspired them. Read on below.

Track 1: "Boomerang" 

"'Boomerang' was just a really fun, sassy, up tempo song. I've never heard said like that, and I just knew it would be a really fun song to run with the band live. It's just about being like, 'I'm not your boomerang, I'm not gonna keep coming back around in a relationship.'" 

Track 2: "Don't Touch My Radio"

"'Don't Touch My Radio,' I wrote. It was just one of those songs that just was super fun. And I don't like it when people touch my radio in a car, so I'm like, 'You can touch the wheel, you can do this, but don't touch my radio.'"

Track 3: "I Got the Boy"

"'I Got the Boy' is about my high school sweetheart, Matthew, and it was just a song that I've been trying to write forever, but someone wrote the song better for me and told my story. It's just one of those bitter sweet stories about having the boy, and not the man, and we live in that moment."

Track 4: "Pop That Bottle"

"'Pop That Bottle' I wrote just because my fans love to have a really good time, and I love wine too. Us girls, we know how to go out and have a good time, so it's just a really fun like party, drinking song."

FYI: Jana is a red wine girl. 🍷

Track 5: "Love"

"'Love' was a song that was written for me by my friend Cat Gravitt and Jimmy Robbins, and it's just all about believing in fairy tales. Believing in miracles. Believing that love is there no matter how many times your heart has been broken."

Track 6: "Circles"

"'Circles' is a really cool song. It's about that love that's just so deep and unbreakable, and that person in that song has fixed your heart that was broken before. And just again, having that unbreakable bond."

Track 7: "Bullet"

"'Bullet' was a fun song that I wrote. Just about getting out of a bad relationship, and saying, 'Hey, I dodged a bullet. I'm glad that I didn't go through with that.'"

Track 8: "Dance in the Rain"

"'Dance in the Rain' was a song I wrote about going through a really tough situation, but weathering through it. Like weathering through the storm, just being in the rain, and just being like, 'You know what? This is hard, but I'm going to just dance in the rain and get through this.'"

Track 9: "Said No One Ever"

"'Said No One Ever' is just really fun, catchy, up tempo, sassy, really fresh lyrics, and just sort of different. [Also] a different way of saying, 'Said No One Ever.'"

Track 10: "Just Like in the Movies"

"It was just a sweet song that I wrote about saying, 'Hey, this is my past, but this is who I am, and take it or leave it.' And things could be amazing, and we can have a love just like in the movies if you let that go."

Track 11: "The Last Song"

"'Last Song,' which is a song that I wrote just about saying that I have to let go of you, and not write about you anymore because it's over and it's done, and I have to move on."
