Jake Owen's latest single "What We Ain't Got" is a definite change in direction for the 33 year old Winter Haven, FL native. Known mostly for his uptempo, "good-time" singles ("Barefoot, Bluejean Night, Beachin'), his latest release takes Owen in a profoundly different direction, a sensitive piano-driven ballad about lamenting the things he used to have, including a former love.

Owen describes the song as the most important song of his career. “It’s a big, big step for me to put out a song that’s a ballad that has a lot of meaning behind it,” Owen told Radio.com. “It’s a deep song that deals on a lot of levels with everyone looking at their own life. We all work so hard day to day, and we want more and more and more. This is a world of wanting more. It’s a song about looking at where you are and appreciating what you have, ’cause once it’s gone we all want what we don’t have.”

Even the video for the song is very different from anything he has done before. Watch the powerful new music video for the song and see for yourself.
