Riley Green’s new song, “Worst Way,” is a very sexy song about a guy who can’t wait to get home to the woman he loves and show her how much he’s missed her. As hot as the song is, Riley admits that in real life, when it comes to romance and romantic occasions like Valentine’s Day, he’s not nearly as smooth as the guy in the song.

Riley told us in a recent interview, “I would say there’s probably a lot of room for improvement in my Valentine’s Day/romantic evening type. Of course, with as much as I’m on the road now, it’d be tough for me to be in a relationship with anybody, but I bet I could probably do a lot better in the holiday/girlfriend department.”

Green’s “Worst Way” is a steamy little number he wrote all by himself. The song is off his Way Out Here EP, which he released back in April of last year. Even though he’s just now officially releasing it to radio, Riley shares how fans have been pretty excited about “Worst Way” since he first shared it online under a different name.

The country star told us, "I’d written a song and recorded years earlier called 'When She Comes Home Tonight' that always stood out in my live shows, and it’s kinda that type of song. So, I think I played it and put it on social media maybe, just to video of it, and it blew up."

He continued, "The reaction to it and a lot of those kind of comments – some inappropriate comments as well. I think maybe I had like a bag in the background and there was a big thing about whether it was somebody’s purse. You know, it gave it a whole ‘nother life, so it’s been really cool to see a song do that much on its own. It’s one of the biggest moments in my live show now.”
