THOMPSON SQUARE

Everyone remembers where they were the first time they heard Thompson Square. More than a decade after the husband and wife duo of Keifer and Shawna Thompson broke out of Nashville with the multi-Platinum hit 'Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not,' audiences remain eager for more. The GRAMMY-nominated pair has toured internationally, earned No. 1 records in three countries, collected multiple awards and appeared on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, NBC's TODAY, CBS This Morning and numerous prime-time television specials and award shows. Along the way, they have also launched their own podcast and drawn praise as "remarkable" from Taste of Country, "deeply personal and emotional" from Sounds Like Nashville and "vivacious" from Rolling Stone.

Now, after stepping back in recent years to focus on family, Thompson Square is returning in full force with new music that reflects both where the duo started and how far they have come. "Keifer and I really got back to our roots," Shawna says of the pair's latest chapter. "But we've grown too, and the music reflects all of that." Their new material carries the heart, chemistry and emotional honesty that first connected with listeners while adding the perspective that comes from life on the road, hard won experience and the realities of building a family together.

That balance has always defined Thompson Square's music. From the luminous devotion of the No. 1 hit 'If I Didn't Have You' to the playful tension of the Top 10 favorite 'Everything I Shouldn't Be Thinking About,' the duo has built a catalog rooted in the truth of a real relationship. Their willingness to be open with listeners has made Thompson Square one of country music's most intimate and relatable acts, with songs that feel personal without ever losing their broad audience appeal.

The next chapter continues that tradition. Each song from the upcoming project reflects a life lived together, capturing the dizzying highs, quiet tenderness, hard lessons and occasional heartbreak that come with love and partnership, while still leaving room for the high energy songs and good time spirit that have always been part of the duo's identity. The result is music that feels both familiar and newly sharpened, designed to take listeners on a journey that mirrors much of their own lives.

That spirit is front and center on the duo's recent release 'Lay It on Me,' written by Keifer Thompson, Shawna Thompson and Jonathan Singleton. The track revisits the country foundation that shaped both artists during their formative years while pairing Thompson Square's signature love song sensibility with an energetic, roots driven sound. It is fresh without losing authenticity, a reminder that the best songs do not simply imagine real life. For Thompson Square, they come from living it. Keifer and Shawna are not just singing these stories. They are still writing them together.
