He received a 2016 ASCAP Songwriter Award for the song's success. King also
wrote the first Hootie and the Blowfish song to be released since 2005. "Rollin" is featured on their upcoming album.
King’s current single, “Try Saying Goodbye” pulls from his storytelling prowess. It has already garnered more than 15 million streams and 30 major market radio adds including Atlanta, Boston and Seattle. It was described by Tom Roland, of Billboard Magazine, as “a de facto ear worm that continues to connect.” CMT stated “With fresh melodies and lyrics mixed with old school believability, John King is a serious new artist you need to have on your playlists”. It was named one of Rolling Stone’s Top 10 Country Songs, earning features from , Amazon, Whiskey Riff, Taste of Country and more. It was also featured on Apple Music’s “Best of the Week”, “A-List”, “Breaking Country” and “Broken Down” Playlists.
