Hardy‘s ”Give Heaven Some Hell” serves as a stirring tribute from the musician to anyone who’s lost a loved one.
“Give Heaven Some Hell” is the latest single culled from the singer-songwriter’s debut album, A Rock, which dropped in September via Big Loud Records. The song follows ”One Beer,” a No. 1 single — Hardy’s first as an artist — featuring Lauren Alaina and Devin Dawson.
Whereas “One Beer” is nostalgic, “Give Heaven Some Hell” tackles the severe circumstances surrounding life and death while still retaining the signature witty charm of the musician whose full name is Michael Wilson Hardy.
“”Give Heaven Some Hell” is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written,” Hardy says of the new single. “I just hope this helps anyone that’s ever suffered a loss of a loved one. Excited for this song to exist in the world.”
An accompanying music video puts Hardy with some of his real-life buddies, as the singer explains on YouTube. True to the song’s subject matter, however, the clip focuses on evoking emotions that arise after a loved one passes to the other side.
Hardy cut his teeth in country music penning songs for Florida Georgia Line, Morgan Wallen, Blake Shelton and more before releasing his own tracks. Hardy’s first mixtape, Hixtape Vol. 1, arrived in 2019.
