Jimmie Allen will release his new single, called “Down Home,” early next month. The song was co-written by Jimmie and is a letter to his late father, James, who passed away in 2019. “Down Home” is the lead single from Jimmie's upcoming third album.
He said, “‘Down Home’ is probably one of the most special songs I’ve ever written. I wrote it about my father – kind of like, hopefully he’s in heaven and looking down on everything I’m doing and hope he’d be proud of me . . . It’s a song that’s actually helped me a lot because in the midst of missing my father, I think about him seeing everything I’ve got going on and it’s like even though he’s gone, he’s always with me. I hope this song finds its place in the world and this song helps people that have lost not only a father, or a parent, or a loved one just like the song has helped me.”
The music video for “Down Home” will debut on March 18th.
Jimmie is set to appear on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday (March 4th).
