Following Exclusive Premiere with Wide Open Country (4/6)
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Deluge Music’s Johnny Gates tries his luck at winning back an old flame in new song “Reckless” – available today across all digital and streaming platforms. The Gates, Tyler Thompson and Mason Thornley-penned lyrics unfold the all-too-relatable thoughts that cross one’s mind post-breakup during a night out. The addictive new tune premiered with Wide Open Country who said the song perfectly “tows the line between letting go and calling an old flame.”

“With ‘Reckless,’ we wanted to write about that feeling of trying like hell to get over someone – until finally realizing that maybe you don’t want to get over them,” Gates shared with Wide Open Country. “That might look like a lot of things: slipping up and calling, or hanging out – maybe even trying to give it another shot.”
The infectious new track follows prior release “Flirt,” which premiered recently with HollywoodLife and “captures the thrill of finding love and ‘living in the moment…’” The singer-songwriter has plans to release a series of new singles throughout the year, further showcasing his rugged, rock-infused vocals and lyrical deep-dives into everyday scenarios. Since signing with Deluge in May 2020, he’s treated fans to several new tracks, including songs “Buy You a Beer,” “Loretta Lynn,” and his most recent release, “Scotch Tape.”
