Daily Digital Download: Sara Evans ‘Put My Heart Down’ [VIDEO]

"Put My Heart Down" is a song written by Nathan Chapman, Andrew Dorff, Liz Huett, and recorded by Sara Evans. It was released as the second single from her seventh studio album, Slow Me Down. Originally, "Can't Stop Loving You" (a duet with Isaac Slade of The Fray) was announced as the second single with a release date of July 21, 2014. However, the adds date was pushed back and later cancelled for reasons unknown, and "Put My Heart Down" was released instead.

Sara appeared on ABC's Nashville to perform a duet version of "Put My Heart Down" with Will Chase (who plays Luke Wheeler on the show) on October 29, 2014.

The song is sung from the perspective of a woman who is in a toxic relationship telling her lover to leave because she's done trying to make it work. She acknowledges that it won't be easy and that it already hurts, but it's the right thing for him to do, so she insists he "put [her] heart down and walk away."

Evans said of the song that

"this is one of those songs that gets stuck in your head and tickles your ears. [The character in the song is] saying, 'I have a feeling you're going to hurt me, but don't. Just be honest with me and tell me if you’re going to break my heart ('put my heart down') because I'm falling for you.'"

The music video, directed by Peter Zavadil, was shot on October 8, 2014, and made its premiere on Rolling Stone on November 25, 2014.
