“Whisky Story” is the lead single from Example’s forthcoming sixth album. When asked who’s singing the hook, Elliot responded “it’s a secret sample”. According to an interview with Digital Spy, he’s said the following about the track:
I wrote this track just after my son was born and was really craving a night out. It’s a tale of nights out in my younger single days and a nod to my first record – and thinking how much my life has changed since then. I want to put the fun and humour back into my music and when another artist heard it they said, ‘I think this is the most Example-y Example track yet’, which I suppose can only be a good thing. Having time down under I was away from UK radio and the club scene, which got me thinking that I wanted it to sound like nothing else out there at the moment whilst keeping the energy and festival feel of some of the biggest tracks to date.
