Boot Scootin" and "Conway [Twitty] on the radio."

Speaking about his new release, Shelton aid he gets excited whenever he drops a new song, but "No Body" is special to him because it takes him to the 1990s when he was in high school and moved to Nashville, Tennessee.

"The hook confused me the first time I heard it - I'm hoping it's the same way for everyone else, so they have to listen to it a bunch of times to figure it out!" he added.

Aside from the throwback sound, he also embodied major nostalgia by changing his hairstyle into a mullet.

"No Body" is available for streaming on major music platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Its music video is also available on YouTube.
