Colt Graves said:

“Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, it just isn't good enough for some people?

Dirt On Me is for the people living true to themselves and trying to do the right thing, regardless of what anyone else has to say about it. It’s a ‘fed up with the bullsh*t’ anthem and a call to confident and more prideful arms; you can’t please everyone; the harder you try, the worse you will end up.

People are always going to 'Throw Dirt On You' and try to drag you down, but positivity always wins, and the best thing we can do is ignore the noise and keep moving forward.”

Amelia Vandergast, the Executive Editor at A&R Factory said:

“The genre fluidity within Dirt on Me may be bang on trend, but clearly, Colt Graves will never be one to sell his soul at the expense of his veracity, which makes the superlative hit one of the most visceral anthems the Country genre has ever contained.”
