Stereotype is the fourth studio album by American country music singer Cole Swindell. It was released on April 8, 2022, via Warner Music Nashville. The album contains the singles "Single Saturday Night" and "Never Say Never".
Stereotype is Swindell's first studio album since All of It four years prior. Before the album's release, Swindell told American Songwriter that the COVID-19 pandemic allowed him more time for song selection than his previous albums, and that he wanted to "put in something for everybody". [1] The song "She Had Me at Heads Carolina" is a reference to Jo Dee Messina's 1996 debut single "Heads Carolina, Tails California" which changes that song's perspective. Swindell contacted Tim Nichols and Mark D. Sanders, the writers of "Heads Carolina, Tails California", for permission to include elements of that song. According to Swindell, "it sounds a lot like the original song, but the lyrics are changed and it’s a whole different viewpoint". [1]
Zach Crowell, Chris LaCorte, and Jordan Schmidt produced the album with Swindell's usual producer, Michael Carter. Prior to the album's release, it produced two singles; "Single Saturday Night" was the first, reaching number one on the Billboard Country Airplay charts in 2021. The second single is "Never Say Never", a duet with Lainey Wilson. [2]
In advance of the album's release, Swindell released two other songs digitally. The first was "Down to the Bar", a duet with Hardy, on March 15, 2022. Hardy also co-wrote "Single Saturday Night" and "Every Beer" on the album. To support the album, Swindell also began a tour called the Down to the Bar Tour, which lasted from February to April. [3] After this, Swindell released the title track on March 31. [4]
