Back in February 2019, he released his #1 smash song, “Living.”
The title of his new quarantine banger, “Gone,” funnily enough, has the opposite message.
Dierks Bentley said that he wasn’t sure if he wanted to record a song that was directly about the present 2020 moment.
"I like that this song is about a relationship. A girl left him and now the guy's gone. He hasn't gone anywhere. He's just losing his mind at home," Bentley said in an interview.
”I do like that it's called ‘Gone' because it does touch upon the times we're in.” He said, “And it's personal to me because I've been totally gone.”
Well, he may have disappeared for a bit, but he's back in full force. And, of course, he always has his wife beside him.
