Platinum-selling artist Mitchell Tenpenny is back with a brand new music video and song titled ‘Not Today,' now available on all digital platforms. Co-written with Chris DeStefano, Michael Whitworth, and Claire Douglas, ‘Not Today' marks a poignant departure from Tenpenny's previous works, offering a refreshing blend of introspection and resilience.
The genesis of ‘Not Today' traces back to a college-era song titled ‘Just Not Today,' which Tenpenny revisited during a writing session. Inspired to transform the ballad into an up-tempo track, the singer-songwriter infuses raw emotion into every note, capturing the essence of moving on from heartbreak.
In discussing the song's themes, Tenpenny reveals, “The song is about trying to get over a breakup…Today you are going to feel it. You are going to eat the pain and remember everything that happened and move on later.” With its relatable lyrics and infectious melody, “Not Today” resonates with listeners navigating the complexities of love and loss.
The accompanying music video, directed by Jeff Johnson and filmed in Nashville, offers a visually stunning narrative that complements the song's emotional depth. Set against the backdrop of an electric chair, Tenpenny's character grapples with memories of his past relationship, experiencing a surge of electricity as he confronts his pain head-on. Featuring Morgan Willett as the female lead, the video captivates viewers with its mesmerising visuals and thought-provoking storytelling.
‘Not Today' has already garnered widespread acclaim from fans during Tenpenny's recent tour appearances, where he has shared the stage with Luke Combs and Jordan Davis. As anticipation mounts for his forthcoming album, slated for release this fall, fans can expect more electrifying tracks and soul-stirring performances from this talented artist.
