Jason Aldean Reflects On A Past Relationship In 'Blame It On You' Video

Jason Aldean has shared the music video for his new single, "Blame It On You" on Thursday (January 28).

The clip, directed by Shaun Silva, shares the story of a young couple from the loving beginning of their relationship to the difficult end. Mixed in throughout the couple's story is footage of Aldean performing the song.

"I could blame it on the whiskey / I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t even miss me / Gave you a million reasons, girl, not to be with me / Should’ve never let you go / Should’ve never watched you go," Aldean sings in the chorus. "I could blame it on a good high / Let it take the blame for why you told me goodbye / Instead of missin' you and missin' all those good times / Should've never let you go / Should've never watched you go / I could say I never knew / I could drink around the truth / But I can't blame it on you."

"Blame It On You" was co-written by Michael Tyler alongside John Edwards, Brian Gene White, Kurt Allison, and Tully Kennedy. The track is Aldean's third single released from his 2019 album, 9 and follows his 24th career No. 1, "Got What I Got."

"When I hear songs like ‘Blame It On You’ that have more of a pop side but are still killer…I always want to see what we can do with it. The demo had this really cool auto-tune in the background that I immediately knew we needed to leave in there, "Aldean previously shared of the song. "We ended up cranking it up and now it almost sounds like there’s another singer on the song. It’s just really cool. I’ve always said that just because it’s a slower song, it doesn’t mean that it can’t be edgy. You can still have some attitude to it."
