Lindsay Ell's brand new song "want me back" was the most-added at country radio this week.

Ell co-wrote the song with Kane Brown along with acclaimed Nashville writers Matt McGinn and Lindsay Rimes.

The song is Kane’s first writing credit for another artist. He said, “I think Lindsay is an awesome artist. I was excited and grateful to be part of the song and I’m so glad she’s my first outside cut as a writer.”

Ell says, “I’m so happy by the reaction from fans and country radio for the release of ‘wAnt me back.' I feel like anyone can relate to this song by thinking back to after that one relationship in high school or college when you felt like you gained a whole newfound confidence. I can’t thank Kane, Matt and Lindsay enough for co-writing it with me, and am honored to be Kane’s first outside cut.”

Available everywhere digitally now, “wAnt me back” is from her upcoming sophomore album, heart theory out August 14.
