MITCHELL TENPENNY DEBUTS NEW SONG & MUSIC VIDEO FOR “ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM” FEATURING TEDDY SWIMS (AUDIO)
“Hey y’all it’s Mitchell Tenpenny. Here’s my new song Elephant In The Room.”
“This song is about when two people have that chemistry in a room that like everyone around you can feel. It’s that energy we all know we have, you know, we can tell when people are staring at us, or looking at us. We have that ability as human beings. And this one is about two people falling in love, but just having that energy across the room, and that’s the elephant. Everyone can feel it and they want to go do something about it. And that’s exactly what they do an elephant in the room.“
“Hey y’all it’s Mitchell Tenpenny. That was my song Elephant In The Room.”
