Dalton Dover is savoring every moment in his uplifting new single “Damn Good Life.”
Out today (Sept. 23), the 23-year-old Georgia native co-wrote his latest release Alex Maxwell and Jaxson Free. The track is an infectious and much-needed reminder to celebrate the little things in life while you still have the chance.
“I wanted to write a song that makes people smile. There are plenty of drinkin’ songs, and there are plenty of love songs, but not enough feel-good songs,” Dover says. “When Alex, Jaxson and I sat down, we were having a great day and ‘Damn Good Life’ basically wrote itself. It’s a reminder not to take all the little things for granted in life.”
Take a listen to “Damn Good Life” below:
