Jake Owen may have tapped into a summer anthem with his hot new single, “Barefoot Blue Jean Night,” but for Jake, it’s not just a song, it’s a lifestyle. As much as Jake enjoys living in Nashville, he’s Florida born and bred, so when he hit the studio to record “Barefoot Blue Jean Night,” summer fever was definitely in high gear. (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

  Jake Owen found a song that’s true to his lifestyle with his new hit, “Barefoot Blue Jean Night.” (:25)
“Growin’ up in Florida, I know definitely what summer feels like, all year long (laughs), pretty much. I was very fortunate to grow up down there — and take that for granted, I now see — because as I live here in Nashville, as beautiful as it is here, snow is not my forté, man. So I was very much looking forward to summertime. So when we recorded this tune, ‘Barefoot Blue Jean Night,’ I already had so much summer energy built up in me that I was ready to layer it down on the tune.”
