Runaway June is back with new music, sharing the boot-stomping, fire-worthy "Make Me Wanna Smoke" everywhere today (5/19). The trio's first release since signing with Quartz Hill Records, "Make Me Wanna Smoke" is instantly relatable to anyone who's ever been in a relationship that's not quite over, but probably should be.

LISTEN TO "MAKE ME WANNA SMOKE"

"Make Me Wanna Smoke" was written by Jason Sellers, Ella Langley and Bobby Hamrick and captures a conflicted heart struggling with love it can’t quit – even when it feels like a bad habit. Produced by Mickey Jack Cones, the percussive and rhythmic track keeps Runaway June's three-part harmonies front and center as band members Jennifer Wayne, Natalie Stovall and Stevie Woodward can't help but feel a pull toward someone they know they're better off leaving behind.

"'Make Me Wanna Smoke' has immediately become our favorite song to play live," Runaway June shares. "It's slinky and fun and such an empowering way to embrace the back-and-forth nature of a relationship that may not be the best for you. We're so excited to share this one!"

Runaway June exclusively debuted "Make Me Wanna Smoke" last week (5/10) on The Bobby Bones Show, where Wayne, Stovall and Woodward chatted with Bones and gave him all the details on the song, calling it "really exciting" and "very edgy."

The band's most recent release was the heartbreak rocker "BROKEN HEARTS (DO BROKEN THINGS)," which scored mentions from Billboard, Entertainment Tonight, E! News, CMT and more. Runaway June will bring the confessional track and "Make Me Wanna Smoke" to fans this summer with concert dates in California, Colorado and more as well as a performance at CMA Fest in Nashville on the Chevy Riverfront Stage.

ABOUT RUNAWAY JUNE:
Formed in 2015, Runaway June is an all-female band made up of three powerhouse musicians with no limit to their talent and effortless charisma. With their past triumphs including the GOLD-certified radio hit “Buy My Own Drinks,” the trio has earned ACM and CMT nominations, plus supported Country icons like Carrie Underwood with their electrifying live set – all while drawing major critical acclaim for releases like their 2019 full-length debut BLUE ROSES. Consisting of founding member Jennifer Wayne and fellow vocalists/multi-instrumentalists Natalie Stovall and Stevie Woodward, Runaway June delivers a timeless yet undeniably fresh sound reflecting their eclectic sensibilities and wide-ranging backgrounds. Wayne is a California native who started out on a path as a tennis pro before forming her first band, then began writing for artists like Eric Paslay soon after her post-college move to Nashville; Stovall took up classical violin at age four in Central Tennessee, launched her music career by playing fiddle in the Opryland Kids Club, attended Berklee College of Music, and eventually linked up with Wayne while on tour with her former band; and Woodward got her start playing solo gigs all over South Carolina at 14, studied songwriting and music business at Middle Tennessee State University, and later embarked on a solo career as a singer/songwriter. Runaway June recently brought their harmony-fueled and high-energy brand of Country to the bold and unbridled 2022 single “BROKEN HEARTS (DO BROKEN THINGS)" and just unleashed their latest effort, "Make Me Wanna Smoke."
