The new song Blake Shelton released today, “Came Here To Forget,” immediately raced to the No. 1 spot on iTunes’ Country Chart. It’s the first song sent to radio from his forthcoming 12th studio album which will be called, ‘If I’m Honest’, and will be released May 20. “This is the most excited I’ve been about a new album since the release of my second record,” he said in a press release

While it may seem biographical given what’s happened in Blake’s personal life over the last year, “Came Here To Forget” was written by Craig Wiseman and Deric Ruttan, and is an intimate snapshot of a random couple’s encounter at a bar. Still, Blake says he connects with it on a personal level. “I’ve had a lot of music over the years but, I don’t think I’ve ever had a song before that’s such a direct look into my life.”

As he finishes his winter tour, Blake is coaching talent on the 10th season of NBC’s hit show, ‘The Voice.’
