Russell Dickerson<\/a>‘s latest song is a love letter to his wife. ET spoke to the 37-year-old country singer\u00a0at Trend Management’s Sip & Sound Saloon event in Nashville, Tennessee, on Wednesday, and he teased what fans can expect from his upcoming single, “Bones,” which is due out this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n “I’m not trying to be the love song guy, but I’m just trying to write songs about real life. My family, my wife, that is my life,” Russell told ET of his wife, Kailey, and their kids Radford, 8 months, and Remington, 3. “When it comes time to write a song, that’s just what happens.”<\/span><\/p>\n When Russell came up with the title “Bones,” in which he tells Kailey “I’m going to love you until I die,” he gathered his favorite writers to develop the track.<\/span><\/p>\n “I can’t say I knew it the day we wrote it, but as I kept playing the demo and the song and kept playing it over and over, I was just like, ‘I think this may be it.’ I haven’t believed in a song this much since ‘Yours,'” Russell said of his 2017 hit. “I hope it’s bigger. Who knows? I’m putting it all on the line for this one.”<\/span><\/p>\n As for how Kailey reacted to the song, Russell knew she loved it after she returned home late from a girls’ night.<\/span><\/p>\n “I wake up at 10:30 p.m. and I’m like, ‘She’s not here yet.’ I wake up at like, 11:30 p.m., like, she’s still not home. And then I wake up at, like, 1:00 a.m., and I’m like, ‘Where are you?'” he recalled. “And she was like, ‘I’ve literally been sitting in the driveway for the last hour and a half listening to ‘Bones’ on repeat.’ I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.'”<\/span><\/p>\n
