Ben Gallaheris ready to show the world what he’s got.

On Thursday, the singer-songwriter’s latest single “Lovin' You Gets in the Way,” set to be featured on his upcoming debut album, is premiering exclusively via PEOPLE.

“‘Lovin’ You Gets in the Way' is one my favorite songs I’ve ever recorded. It’s one of the few songs I didn’t write on the album, but as soon as I heard it, I knew it had to make its way onto this record,” Gallaher, 30, tells PEOPLE.

He adds, “I’m really thankful for the opportunity to record it and bring it to life. The lyric has this tension and angst that’s married to the melody with the signature guitar riffs woven all through it. To me, there’s something special about this track.”

“I took everything you gave me/Right down to the photographs/Tried to burn them in the backyard/But I just couldn’t strike that match,” he sings. “I wanna wish I never met you/I wanna wish I’ve never seen your face/But every time I want to hate you/Lovin' you gets in the way.”

“Lovin' You Gets in the Way” will be featured on Gallaher’s debut albumCountry in the House, which drops on Friday.

“Some people hear music, some people feel it. I want them to do both with this record. My hope is to take listeners on a three-and-a-half minute journey with each song, latching onto a lyric, a melody, or guitar solo,” he says. “These songs are my stories and our stories.”

“Lovin' You Gets in the Way” is out now.
