SCOTTY McCREERY KICKS OFF SUMMER WITH LATEST SINGLE “BOTTLE ROCKETS” FEATURING HOOTIE & THE BLOWFISH
UK Headline Tour Begins Next Week
NASHVILLE, TN. – (16th May, 2025) – Multi-Platinum Country music hitmaker, Scotty McCreery, is ready to kick-off the summer with the release of his breezy new single, “Bottle Rockets”, featuring the iconic Hootie & The Blowfish, out now. The track, co-written by McCreery, Brent Anderson, Derek George, Jeremy Bussey, Monty Criswell, Frank Rogers, Bobby Hamrick, Darius Rucker, Mark Bryan, Dean Felber, and Jim Sonefeld and produced by Rogers, takes us back to the carefree teenage days of summer. North Carolina native McCreery called on his South Carolina neighbours, Hootie & The Blowfish, who recorded a new version of their mega-hit “Hold My Hand” for the track, to join him in reflecting on the simpler times.
“This song takes me back to those summers of having fun with no responsibilities with good times and good tunes” says McCreery “For me growing up in the Carolinas, Hootie & the Blowfish were just massive and such a huge part of great summers growing up. That’s what this song ‘Bottle Rockets’ is about.”
