The country music singer-songwriter, Mike Ryan just announced he will be officially shipping his new single, “Way It Goes” to country radio in January. This single, “Way It Goes” follows his three-week #1 hit song “Loser”, which topped the American Country Music charts. “Way It Goes” and “Loser” are both included on Mike’s critically-acclaimed album released in 2022 entitled, “Longcut.”

Along with that, “Way It Goes” was written by songwriters, Phil Vassar, Andrew Peebles and Brett Sheroky. “There are some great songwriters on this track. Having the chance to cut a song co-written by a legend like Phil Vassar along with Brett Sheroky and Andrew Peebles was a really cool opportunity,” said Ryan. 

He added, “This song is an honest look at a blind-sided breakup. There are all these romanticized versions of how it might go and maybe you see it coming from a mile away, but this one was just like it came out of nowhere. Then all hell broke loose and now we’re done. It’s like you are trying to figure out where to go from there and picking up the pieces.”

Known for his gift as a songwriter and talent that has led to collaborations with major label acts such as Brad Paisley and Brandy Clark, Mike’s craft has earned him over 320 million career streams and a Top 20 hit as a co-writer on Brad Paisley’s “Last Time For Everything.” Paisley reciprocated with a shredding guitar solo on Mike’s previously released song “The Rewrite.” In addition, Mike fulfilled a career milestone making his official Opry debut.
