Lady Antebellum will release their video for their new single “What If I Never Get Over You,” on Friday (5/17).

The group posted to Instagram a teaser yesterday saying, "First look at the “What If I Never Get Over You” music video."

In an interview a week ago, Charles told us about the song, “‘What If I Never Get Over You’ is definitely about that feeling, right after you break up, there’s that moment that whether you were the one that did the breaking up or got broken up with, that you wonder if you’ll ever find that same connection and love.”

Even though the trio didn’t write the song, they all three related to it as soon as they heard it. Charles says, “I know I felt like that before. Before I met Cassie I had a longtime girlfriend, and I mean, it was years of feeling that, ‘Am I ever gonna find anyone like her? Was that the one?' And I think that’s why it is kind of a universal message, and that’s what this is about.”

“What If I Never Get Over You” is the first release from Lady Antebellum on their new record label, BMLG Records. They are currently working to finish their upcoming album.
