GEORGE BIRGE -Missin' Tonight - RECORDS Nashville

With “Cowboy Songs” still impacting strongly at country radio, landing inside the Top 30 again this week, hot rising superstar George Birge now returns with the road-tested fan favorite, “Missin’ Tonight.”

More akin to the overall aura brushed into his #1 smash “Mind On You” then the western infused kiss of his current single, the addictively catchy song written by Birge, Daniel Ross, and Taylor Philipps leans into ultra-modern vibes that pop the soft build of melody through the verses as he lets his heartbeat pulse the idea of the night out that he wants with just her and him.

“You slip in them cutoffs, I'll kick on these boots,” he trails in the opening verse as he teases a temporary escape that will see them leaving their nothing town behind in a cloud of dust and pointing toward a secluded spot where they can’t be found, utilizing then the second verse to paint the morning after picture of wanting their lust-filled night to happen all over again before the sun fully rises.

Matching his heart raced desire to get off the grid and find a spot where they can drift into one another uninterrupted for the night, he shifts away in the chorus from his own wants by placing the “get outta town” question on her shoulders, flirtatiously guiding the backwoods scene of what she can expect if she says yes:

“Whatcha say you and me, we go missing tonight?

Let the stars up in the sky light a fire in your eyes

Baby, we can let 'em line up

Talking out there in the pines where nobody can find us

Get the static cutting through that radio dial

Leave the rest of the world behind a country mile

Make the kind of love you can't get off of your mind

Baby, wake up in the morning missing tonight”

Whether “Missin’ Tonight” is simply a tease of his next chapter or an answer to the call from his rapidly growing fan base, it’s a song that’s clearly built for radio and could strike the Top 40 with relative ease should they take it to the airwaves.

There’s a strong connection factor for those in love couples who can’t get enough of each other, a conviction of truth within the edges of his vocals that waver somewhere between playful and confident, and a melody that’s everything a modern country song should be as it draws you into its atmosphere note by passing note.

Birge himself has teased on his socials for months now that this is “your new favorite song to play on repeat,” and it’s absolutely getting added to your playlists where you’ll then be solidifying his bold statement by in fact playing it on repeat.
