When Zach and Colton, The Swon Brothers, sat down one night in their home studio last fall, they never planned to write a song. They were just having a conversation but what happened became much more…
The brothers wrote their new single, “What Ever Happened,” in about an hour. It was a culmination of their discussion about the world and how much things have changed since they were kids. Longing for a simpler time, they thought others might feel the same and outpoured the lyrics and the melody in a song that defines the times we are living in. Although the message is serious, the feel is upbeat, nostalgic and hopeful. The Swon Brothers co-produced the new single with Brad Hill (Maren Morris, Brothers Osborne).
