<p>After decades of being the songwriter behind some of country music’s biggest hits for artists such as Rascal Flatts and Montgomery Gentry, Jeffrey Steele is using his own voice on his new and most personal song to date.</p>
<p>“A Voice” is a patriotic plea for Americans to unite and stand up for truth, Steele told The Daily Wire. The single, released January 16, shares the stories of Americans who Steele says don’t always have a voice, but make up the backbone of the country.</p>
<p>“It’s a time in the world when we’ve been relying on government to take care of us,” Steele said. “This is a song about people taking care of each other.”</p>
<p>The lyrics for this song evoke powerful imagery with lines, “I’m the Soldier, I fought and died for you. Gave up my life to give you the right to live the life you choose,” and “I’m a laid off factory worker whose factory’s China bound. We’re the coal miners, firefighters, the Charlie Kirk choir all lightin’ our lighters, finally waking up, we had enough, of the liars setting the world on fire.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">“A VOICE” is a battle cry and a hope. A reminder that our voices matter and real strength is speaking truth with courage. I wrote this for anyone who’s ever been afraid to speak up. Use your VOICE.

<p>Steele said he was told to keep some of those lyrics out so the song would play on the radio, but the Hall of Fame songwriter said he refused to make concessions for more airtime.</p>
<p>“The radio stations won’t play their records if they speak politically or not, and it’s not really political, it’s just real. It’s really what’s happening in the world. I sing it for my friends who can’t sing it that are in the business, in hopes that the new artists coming up will write what they see out there in the world.”</p>
<p>“I mean, if you look at the 60s, you see the hippie movement, the folk movement, there was a narrative there. Right now, the conservative side doesn’t have that.”</p>
<p>Prior to the song’s official release, Steele had played it at his tour stops for the last several months. He’s played his hits, including “Something To Be Proud Of” recorded by Montgomery Gentry, “Stick That In Your Country Song” recorded by Eric Church, and “My Wish” sung by Rascal Flatts — Steele says nothing has gotten the crowd on their feet like “A Voice.”</p>
<p>“People are getting up, screaming, and cheering. It’s bringing out a feeling, and I think it’s the journey of the song.”</p>
<p>Steele doesn’t want fame or notoriety. His studio walls honestly don’t have room for more accolades, and that’s saying a lot because it’s a big house. He just wants “A Voice” to be a wake-up call for people to speak up for the truth, so the country can be a better place for all.</p>
<p>“Everybody right now is being told to pick left and right, and the only two sides we have are up and down. It’s good or bad. It’s surprising when you stand up, a lot of people will stand up behind you.”</p>
<p>“A Voice” is available on all music platforms. Steele’s tour dates can be found <a href="https://www.jeffreysteele.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p>
