Dierks Bentley Follows Back-to-Back No. 1 Hits by Releasing New Single, “Black”

Hot on the heels of back-to-back No. 1 singles “Somewhere on a Beach” and “Different for Girls,” Dierks Bentley released a new single, “Black,” today (Oct. 31). Co-penned by Dierks, Ross Copperman and Ashley Gorley, “Black” is the title track to Dierks’ eighth studio album, which was released in May 2016.

“When I started thinking about the new album, I went into the process with nothing,” says Dierks to Nash Country Daily. “I didn’t have any songs leftover [from 2014’s Riser]. I didn’t know what I was gonna write about or sing about. I was searching for something, and luckily I co-wrote the song ‘Black’ and felt like it was the centerpiece of what the album could be: exploring relationships. It’s kind of dark and moody and sexy, and it’s also my wife’s maiden name, Black, so it has some personal layers to it for me. I felt like it was something I could really go deep on and build an album around.”

Dierks will perform the television debut of “Black” live from Nashville on Wednesday, Nov. 2, during Good Morning America.
