Today, Colt Ford, the trailblazing country rapper, makes a powerful return with the release of “Hell Out Of It” (feat. Michael Ray) via Average Joes Entertainment — his first release since surviving a life-altering heart attack in 2024. Written by Cole Taylor, Michael Tyler, Thomas Archer, and Lalo Guzman, this feel-good anthem is all about cranking it up, embracing gratitude, and making the most of every moment.

American Songwriter caught up with Colt and exclusively revealed the single yesterday, stating, “‘Hell Out of It’ is more than a comeback single for Colt Ford. It’s a special song with a positive message and his reintroduction to the world after nearly leaving it. However, he had a fairly deep connection to the song before he had his heart attack.”
“I loved this song the moment I heard it, and after everything I’ve been through, it really resonates,” Ford says. “I wanted to bring in someone I’m close with, and Michael Ray absolutely nailed it.”
Michael Ray shares, “I’m so excited to be a part of this song with my brother Colt Ford. ‘Hell Out Of It’ is an anthem for the small town, blue collar men and women — the ones that work hard and play harder. It’s about that slice of heaven; a map dot place that to some people, might not look like much, but is raised in them — love the hell out of it.”
