2020 is already a big year for Dan + Shay. The duo, which also includes Dan Smyers, took home their second Grammy earlier this year, for Best Country Duo/Group Performance, for "Speechless."
Dan + Shay plan on releasing new music later this year. The album, which will be their fourth, will include their record-breaking hit, "10,000 Hours," with Justin Bieber.
"We're fired up," Mooney told Zane Lowe from Beats 1/Apple Music. "It's been a crazy year. It's like insane to think that we put out 'Tequila' just about two years ago. It feels like yesterday. I think for the fans it's a little different. You know, eight hours after we put out 'Tequila,' they're like, 'We need new music!' It's fun though. I feel like that puts a little bit of pressure on artists.
"For us we try not to get too caught up in it with the, we have to do this, we have to do this, but try to make it organic," he continued. "But we definitely do have that pressure and responsibility really to our fans and to radio to put out the best material you can. Dan and I try not to put anything out unless we can truly put our stamp on it and say, all right, this is right."
