This weekend’s ABC Saturday Night Football featuring No. 12 Oklahoma at No. 6 Baylor will air the exclusive broadcast debut of the live video for David Nail‘s latest single, “Night’s on Fire.” The song is from David’s upcoming new album Fighter, due out sometime next year. David’s recording of “Good at Tonight” has been used in ESPN’s college football coverage throughout the 2015 season.
Clips from the video will accompany bumps at the end of the game’s first and third quarters with an extended clip played during halftime. The song will also be featured during Sunday’s (November 15th) “Plays of the Week” segment on SportsCenter and be used the rest of the college football season on ABC/ESPN games.
David didn’t write “Night’s On Fire,” but once he heard it he tells us he couldn’t stop singing the song’s melody. “It was just the whole song, man. It just stuck in my head and it reminded me . . . You know, I always said that I didn’t think I’d get another ‘Whatever She’s Got’ and when we played this the first time live I told the guys, I said, ‘This is a lot like that reaction.’ People kind of, they don’t know it but they know that like it’s good. By the end of it you either . . . especially ‘Night’s On Fire’ cause the words move pretty quick, but like when people think by the end of it they’ve got it and they’re mouthing the words and you’re singing and you’re like looking at them and you’re like, ‘No, that’s the wrong words. That’s wrong.'”
David is currently on the road with Darius Rucker and his Southern Style tour.
