PLATINUM-selling country-rocker Bryan Martin has never shied away from telling the truth, and on “Take It From Me,” out today (7.10) via Average Joes Entertainment, he trades bravado for vulnerability and candor, penning a stripped-back country confessional that doubles as a cautionary tale from someone who’s lived every word.

“I always thought I’d be behind the curtain and let the song do the talkin’,” says Martin. “I know what it’s like to chase things that don’t matter, to push people away, and to have to find your way back. If this song can help somebody put the bottle down, make that call, or hold on one more day, then it’s done what it was supposed to do.”
Written by Martin alongside Ben Roberts (Kameron Marlowe, Sam Williams) and Steven Champion, “Take It From Me” pairs his weathered vocals with gentle guitar picking and lyrics that carry the weight of lived experience. From someone whose scars come from hard-earned lessons and hard-fought healing – and one too many second chances taken for granted – he offers advice to others struggling with addiction and heartache, singing:
Take it from me, just take her back and hold her tight
Take it from me, break down those walls and take her hand and treat her right
Take it from me, you’ll be alright just take that pride and let it go
‘Cause if you don’t
Take it from me, you’ll take that pain, you’ll take that pill, you’ll take that drink
Take it from me, you’ll take it too hard, take it too deep, take it too far
You’ll take that gun, you’ll take a knee
You’ll take that Bible and beg and plead
God please, I can’t take it anymore
Lord, just take it from me
“Take It From Me” marks a new chapter in Martin’s evolution as one of the genre’s most candid storytellers. Across more than 2 billion global career streams, Martin has built a catalog in unflinching honesty, never shying away from writing about life’s darkest corners. Following recent releases like the fiery “Rather Be The Fire” (5.29) and the unfiltered “Tug O’ War,” (2.6) currently climbing country radio, he continues his exploration of healing, accountability and the perspective gained from surviving your own mistakes, with more new music expected this fall.
Currently, on the road, Martin is bringing his live show to fans nationwide, including headline dates in Nashville, Louisville, Baton Rouge and Portland. He’ll also appear at Bourbon & Beyond 2026, Runaway Country Music Festival, Lebanon Strawberry Festival and more. For tour dates and more information, visit: bryanmartinofficial.com.
