The first radio single from the Rascal Flatts since 2020, “I Dare You,” will be released on Friday, January 31.
The song’s collaboration with the musical group the Jonas Brothers adds even more originality.
However, why? How?
“They [The Jonas Brothers] wrote the song withShay Mooney, fromDan + Shay, and they came to us and they were like ‘We feel like this is a chorus that sounds like Rascal Flatts,” the Flatts’Jay DeMarcusexplains, “and we’d love to be a part of it, if it’s something you guys are open to.'”
The time was right to release new music because the country trip had just announced their Life Is a Highway Tour, which would mark their 25th anniversary.
“We thought this might be a cool way to just kinda sneak back in in radio and release some new music,” DeMarcus explains.
The trio from the country has always admired the brothers and “all they’ve been able to do,” he adds.
“It seemed like a good opportunity and a good time and a good fit.”
In preparation for the 2025 tour, which begins in February in Evansville, Indiana, Rascal Flatts have already begun practicing.
