Blake Shelton’s fans and friends have likely been hounding him that it would “sure be cool if [he] did” release a new album this year. And so now the truth is out–and a new album will hit stores sooner than many fans may have expected.

And speaking of ‘truth,’ the album will be titled Based On A True Story…, and it will be released March 26.

The lead single from the album is “Sure Be Cool If You Did,” which has been storming the country charts since Blake unveiled it in early January.

Today he also premiered the official music video for the song:
