Wikipedia article"'Still the Same'" is a song written and recorded by American country music duo Sugarland. It was released December 21, 2017 through Big Machine Records, serving as the group's first single in six years and the lead single for their forthcoming sixth studio album, 'Bigger' (2018). "Still the Same" is the group's first new release since their self-imposed hiatus announced in 2012. The song officially impacted American country radio on January 8, 2018; this release was promoted in collaboration between Big Machine and the Universal Music Group Nashville, which houses the group's former label, Mercury Nashville. CompositionWritten by duo members Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush, "Still the Same" combines elements of country music and rock music. Acoustic guitars accompany the song's verses, while modern production elements including electronic hand claps are present throughout. The staff of country music blog 'Taste of Country' wrote that "Still the Same" includes "the same blend of sharp songwriting and modern production" that characterized Sugarland's previous discography. Described as a "comeback single," the song's lyrics address the duo's time apart while insisting their chemistry remains intact. The lyrical details are universal enough to double as a love song. "Still the Same" was the first song written for the album after the pair reunited in 2017. Nettles and Bush also co-produced the track with Julian Raymond.
