Strait released the album’s first song, “MIA Down In MIA,” in May. The beachy tune will be the perfect addition to any summer vacation playlist.
“The Little Things” takes on a different tone. It’s much more sentimental, as “The King of Country” reflects on the little memories and circumstances that give life meaning.
As he sings in the chorus:
“Like an old Merle Haggard song, mama on the phone. Midnight on a back porch, a slow kiss on a dance floor. A tiny diamond in your pocket, a baby that needs rocking back to sleep. If you’re asking me, it’s the little things.”
Strait Features Family Photos In The Song’s Official Audio Video – Including Pictures Of His Late Daughter, Jenifer
After releasing “The Little Things” on Friday (June 14), Strait shared an official audio video to accompany the song. The clip features some sweet family photos, including rare snapshots few people have seen.
Several of the pictures include Strait’s late daughter, Jenifer. 13-year-old Jenifer was tragically killed in a car accident in 1986.
Strait found it hard to participate in interviews after Jenifer’s death because he didn’t want to talk about his loss. He rarely grants interviews to this day.
The video also features photos of Strait with his wife of 52 years, Norma, and their son, Bubba.
By including his family photos, Strait added an extra meaningful element to his video for “The Little Things.” Watch the video and enjoy the song below.
