Jonathan Peyton And His Wife Abigail Team Up On Personal & Introspective New Song “Worth The Fight”

Jonathan Peyton lays it all out there in his music. There's no hiding the hard times or struggles, and as an authentic artist and extremely talented lyricist, who has become known for incredibly introspective songwriting, Peyton has an innately eloquent ability to evoke emotion through his words. And especially when those words are sung through powerful harmonies alongside his wife, Abigail. In Jonathan's latest song, aptly titled "Worth the Fight, as Abigail contributes her impressive vocals, he opens up about what it's like to struggle financially with three kids, and the mindset that is necessary to persevere for your loved ones and for yourself when all hope seems lost. Peyton took to Instagram a couple weeks back to announce the new single and shed some light on the weight of its meaning, and how much it means to him personally. Check out what he had to say here: "'Worth the Fight' drops everywhere on 7/19. This song is a personal one for me. It's about feeling like I've tried my best but I've come up short on different things. It's about growing older and learning to not judge so harshly the things I once did. It's about not letting failures or hard times define you and convince you to give up. It's about perseverance and taking the punches. We all have our stories and this is just a small part of mine, I'd be honored if you gave it a pre save. Thank you! We were driving with the kids recently near an old childhood home of mine and I had the idea of taking Abby and the kids to show them my old home. In a neighborhood full of houses there was the old house, abandoned, and falling apart. I snagged a picture knowing it had ti be a cover fro a song or album. It's humbling sometimes to remember where you came from." https://www.instagram.com/p/C9Izxn6ux_O/ So now, without further ado, give Jonathan and Abigail Peyton's latest single "Worth the Fight" a listen for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iZjmWtiZkU Those lyrics will hit you hard, but that's the case with most of Peyton's music... it's not for the feint of heart. While always a talented songwriter and vocalist, Peyton, a Woodstock, GA native, operated under relative regional obscurity until he was thrusted into a national spotlight on superstar Zach Bryan’s Belting Bronco series in 2021, and has gained fans by playing support for him at many sold out shows across the country ever since. As country music has evolved into a genre that now more than ever supports the independent and authentic artist, Peyton has been diligently honing his craft as a lyricist and musician behind the scenes for well over a decade, though, and Bryan’s endorsement ultimately provided him with the platform for his music to reach a larger audience. And if you ask, he's making the most of it. "Worth the Fight" marks the first single and a quick turnaround since Peyton released Nothing Here's the Same this past March. His first album since his debut Waters Below eight years prior, Peyton's sophomore effort was highly anticipated, to say the least, by all of the fans who have gravitated toward the unmistakable honesty and emotion in his music. And it did not disappoint. Produced by Sadler Vaden, the long time guitarist for Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit who has also been the producer on recent Drayton Farley and Morgan Wade albums, the project features heavy song content that is both introspective of Peyton’s life and an empathetic manifesto of the world surrounding him. It showcases his ability to evoke emotion through his words as he reckons with a traumatic past, prepares for a better future, and grapples with the impact of change, and bolstered by the beautiful harmonies provided by his wife Abigail, each track is a powerful glimpse into Peyton’s mind and impressive songwriting prowess. And it's apparent he's picking up right where he left off. Peyton has surrounded himself with the necessary talent to make the next step in his career, and it sure seems like he's well on his way.
