Alex Miller was one of the many hopefuls during season 19 of ABC’s “American Idol,” and luckily for fans of his work, the artist has now dropped his first single after signing a record deal.
Miller was a favorite contestant on “American Idol,” consistently delivering strong country music-leaning performances. The judges sometimes criticized the fact that he stuck in his comfort zone, which is what ultimately got him sent home.
Miller recently announced his new song and has since released it. The song is titled “Don’t Let the Barn Door Hit Ya.”
The single is available on all major streaming platforms.

Miller finally shared his debut single “Don’t Let the Barn Door Hit Ya,” much to the delight of his fans, who took to his recent post to celebrate the release.
“Great song buddy!!! So proud of your growth,” one person wrote.
Another commented, “First thing I listened to today!! Loved it!!”
He previously shared a sneak peek of the song on Instagram, making it clear that the song is in his signature style, which is an ode to old-school country music. He said in the video that if someone doesn’t like it they can “do what the title says.”
Miller Bonded With Luke Bryan During ‘American Idol’
Just because he was sent home early didn’t mean the judges thought he didn’t have a future in the music industry, however. When he got home from the show, he got a Zoom call from Luke Bryan.
“I made some calls to my good friends at the Grand Ole Opry, and they agreed to let my buddy Alex Miller come perform at the Grand Ole Opry,” Bryan told the young contestant at the time. “And maybe I’ll share the stage with you a little bit, if you’ll have me!”
The young singer-songwriter announced on Instagram that he has officially signed a record deal.
“I’m thrilled to announce that I have signed an exclusive recording contract with Nashville-based @billyjamrecords!!” he wrote. “My first single will be ‘Don’t Let the Barn Door Hit Ya,” produced by @jerrysalley. Stay tuned for the release date.”
He encouraged fans to go to his website to see all the upcoming things he has planned.

Graham DeFranco commented, “You deserve everything coming your way brother.”
