Vincent Mason returns with ‘Don’t Ask Me’

The music is uncooked with particular imagery

Interscope/MCA Nashville/Music Soup songwriter and artist Vincent Mason returns with “Don’t Ask Me“, a new track out now. This new song comes on the heels of the announcement that he was nominated for ACM New Male Artist of the Year at this year’s ACM Awards, which will take place in Las Vegas on May 17th.

Told through the eyes of someone still wrestling with the aftermath of a breakup, “Don’t Ask Me” stands out for its raw, specific imagery. The track’s driving rhythms and vivid storytelling capture the confusion and restlessness that follows heartbreak. Written by Mason with an all-star group of songwriters, including Luke Laird, Hillary Lindsey, and Jack Rauton, the lyrics delve deep into those emotions. Lyrics such as “Don’t ask me how I’m doing, don’t ask me how I’ve been, don’t ask about those empty cans rolling around in my truck bed” paint a portrait of a man sorting through regrets, searching for answers he may never find.

He’s landed Top 40 airplay in Canada, climbed to No. 14 on the UK Country Airplay chart, and emerged to No. 2 on Australia’s CountryTown Top 50, signaling an already massive global audience. After a standout set at CMC Rocks in Australia and international dates supporting Jordan Davis, he’s now stepping back into his own spotlight with a run of headlining spring shows, while also joining Morgan Wallen on select US stadium shows.
