"This record is everything that we've gone through and everything that we want to say that's happened in our lives. It's a huge part of us. It's not a little fly by night -- 'Hey, we should throw together some songs and throw out a record,'" Lady Antebellum's Dave Haywood tells the Tribute, regarding the superstar trio's upcoming album, 'Own the Night.' "We put every single thing we have into it -- time and emotion, money and everything that we have in our career up to this point goes into the record. So we feel we've got a great collection of stuff and you know, only the fans will tell."

The project's first single, 'Just a Kiss,' currently sits a No. 1, becoming the group's fifth chart-topper. Of the new collection's 11 remaining tracks, Dave hints at which tune the band hopes will be their sixth No. 1. "We feel passionate about the song 'We Owned the Night,' which is where we got the title for the album from," he shares. "Other than the title track, right now it's kind of up in the air. We'll put it out there and see what people like."

The follow up to Lady A's Grammy award-winning, multi-platinum selling album, 'Need You Now,' 'Own the Night' is due out September 13 and features at least one band member as a co-writer on 11 of the collection's 12 tracks. Dave and bandmates Hillary Scott and Charles Kelley also share production credits with longtime producer Paul Worley.
