Oliver Anthony has once again proven to be a Country Music powerhouse with the release of his latest single, Scornful Woman. The 32-year-old American country-folk singer and songwriter first teased the song on the night of June 1 when he shared a clip of popular podcast host Joe Rogan listening to the unreleased track with guest Cody Trucker.
“Like Oliver Anthony. Do you wanna hear his new song?” Joe asks Trucker in the video. “We can't play it on the show. Everybody at home, we will be right back.”
Following their private listen, Joe Rogan and Cody Tucker couldn't help but praise the music. He said:
“That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, men. See, that exists. So in the middle of all these honey-honey, sugar-sugar sh*t, there’s still all of Anthony.”
Oliver Anthony captioned the shared clip with a short and straight-to-the-point message:
“June 4th.”
After getting a Joe Rogan’s stamp of approval, fans have been waiting excitedly for the new music to drop.

The song depicts a man shattered by a painful divorce, pleading for relief from his heartbreak.

In the second verse, Anthony sings about the good times they had in the relationship when he believed that his love interest was always going to be with him. But now she is gone, and nothing feels right again.
“I used to sleep so good/ Didn't have a nightmare/ I was busy dreaming/ Believing ya's always gonna be right there/ And now the middle of the day/ Is like the middle of the night/ And the court says 50/50/ But the math don't seem right.”
After another soulful rendition of the chorus, Oliver sings in the bridge how he would gladly give up his money and fame if he could just stop the awful experience of heartbreak.
“She can have all the money/ And they can keep all the fame/ I'd go back to being broke as a joke/ If I could just get a break from the pain.”
The song concludes with a powerful crescendo of musical instruments.
