Cole Swindell can't 'Kill A Prayer'

Press Release

Multi-Platinum-selling superstar and multi-ACM Award-winner Cole Swindell will release a new song, “Kill A Prayer,” this Friday, Jan. 31, across all digital platforms. “Kill A Prayer” follows on the heels of the release of his poignant “One Day,” and emotionally charged “3 Feet Tall,” both of which he released in late 2024. Swindell’s current radio single, “Forever To Me,” a song he wrote for his bride before their wedding, is Top 15 and continues to steadily climb the country charts. “One Day,” “3 Feet Tall,” “Forever To Me” and “Kill A Prayer” will be included on his upcoming fifth studio album for Warner Music Nashville.

Swindell has become known for writing and recording songs with not only creative lyrics, but the most vivid storytelling, and he does it again with “Kill A Prayer,” written by Cole Taylor, Josh Thompson and Jesse Frasure, and produced by Frasure.

“You can’t outrun a Mama’s ‘amen’ even when you’re out here running with the devil, I swear. .... I’m livin’ proof that you can’t kill a prayer”

More about Cole Swindell

Country music superstar and multi-award winner Swindell released new music from his upcoming fifth studio album for Warner Music Nashville, including his current radio single “Forever To Me,” and the digital only releases of “One Day” and “3 Feet Tall,” which Country Now called a “Song of the Year contender” and “one of the most important songs Cole Swindell has ever released.”

Swindell, who Rolling Stone has called “a proven hit-maker,” charted three back-to-back, Platinum-certified, multiweek No. 1 hits off his fourth studio album, “Stereotype: “Single Saturday Night,” “Never Say Never” (with Lainey Wilson), and the five-week three-times-Platinum chart-topper “She Had Me At Heads Carolina.” The latter garnered three ACM Awards for Single of the Year and Song of the Year (as songwriter and artist), an iHeart Music Award for Country Song of the Year, and received a nomination for Musical Event of the Year for “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” with Jo Dee Messina for the 57th CMA Awards. Swindell released a special duet remix of his smash “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” featuring Messina that has produced multiple award nominations and is included on his deluxe album, “Stereotype Broken,” which also includes his 2023 Top 10 single “Drinkaby.”

The Tennessean called Swindell a “hard charging competitor armed with a mastery of the art of the craft, tirelessly looking for ways to improve his work.” He has solidified himself as a hit songwriter, recording artist and headlining performer over the past 11 years. Swindell has racked up 12 No. 1 singles as an artist – 13 as a songwriter – each of the 12 singles are certified Platinum (including two singles at three-times-Platinum and four at two-times-Platinum), a Platinum-certified debut album (“Cole Swindell”), a Platinum-certified sophomore effort (“You Should Be Here”), a Gold-certified third entry (“All Of It”), and a Gold-certified fourth album (“Stereotype”). His massive, Grammy-nominated hit, “Break Up In The End,” was named the 2019 NSAI Song of the Year. Swindell earned two nominations (Musical Event of the Year and Music Video of the Year) for “Never Say Never” at the 56th CMA Awards. 

Swindell officially became a headliner on his own in 2018 with his “Reason To Drink” tours, and his 2022 “Back Down To The Bar” tour. In 2023, he toured with Thomas Rhett on the “Home Team Tour,” and headlined his own “Twelve Tour.” Swindell headlined his “Win The Night Tour” in 2024. He will embark on his first international tour dates in March opening for Cody Johnson’s “Leather Deluxe Tour” in Australia and New Zealand.
