Kiefer Sutherland's new song about a bar

Actor-singer Kiefer Sutherland's new single is about a period in his life when he spent too much time at a local bar.

The 49-year-old actor has just launched his debut album "Down in a Hole" and said that his new single, "Can't Stay Away", does not refer to a doomed love affair, as some people think, but is actually about a period in his life when he spent too much time at a local bar, reported People magazine.

"People have asked, 'Oh, what girl is that about?' It was never about a girl. It was about a bar up the street, walking in the wrong direction when I should be walking home. There was a period, for better or worse, I spent a lot of time there around 2002 or 2003," he said.
