Blake Shelton's new single is 'direct look' into his life

Country singer Blake Shelton says his new song "Came Here to Forget" mirrors his life.

The song will be 39-year-old singer's first track from his highly anticipated 12th studio album, reported People magazine.

"I've had a lot of music over the years but I don't think I've ever had a song before that's such a direct look into my life. That's why I'm so excited about this particular song," Shelton said in a statement.

The song is written by Craig Wiseman and Deric Ruttan. Shelton has been teasing fans about new music since last summer.
