“I still find that I want more, ’cause I’m competitive,” Jake explains. “Sometimes it just takes takin’ a minute to sit there and realize that what we have right in front of us is just as satisfying as anything that we could ever want — and sometimes it takes a little three-minute song like this one to make you remember that.”

“What We Ain’t Got” is a complete 180 from Jake’s summer anthem, “Beachin’.”

He says, “It’s just myself and a piano and a steel guitar, but it’s the kind of song that, like, will pull your heart strings.”

Jake recently debuted “What We Ain’t Got” with a stripped-down performance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! The song is included on his latest album, Days of Gold.
