Mercury Nashville recording artist Easton Corbin has partnered with Ram Trucks to debut a new song titled "Let's Ride." The song, inspired by Ram trucks, will be featured in commercials, music videos, on streaming music services, and an upcoming country music compilation album.

Ram, which has aligned with Corbin on various initiatives since 2012, extended its relationship with him to feature the song in a new Ram Truck television campaign celebrating the warm, fun evenings of summer. Two 30-second ads, "Summer Nights" and "Carnival," are airing across the country in July and August as part of this campaign.

The official music video of "Let's Ride" premiered today exclusively on Yahoo!Music and can be seen beginning Saturday on VEVO, YouTube, Yahoo Ram Country and other digital services. In addition, "Let's Ride" is now available on all streaming music services: http://umgn.us/LetsRideVevo.

"We continue to look for unique ways to creatively show how Ram trucks are an integral part of our culture and the everyday lives of our customers," said Olivier Francois, Chief Marketing Officer, FCA - Global. "It is rewarding to know that Easton, one of the hottest young artists in country music today, wrote the song inspired by his ongoing experiences behind the wheel of our Ram trucks."

Corbin's current studio album, "About To Get Real," was released June 30 and debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Country Album chart. Corbin co-wrote three tracks on "About To Get Real" which also includes his most recent Top 5 hit, "Baby Be My Love Song."

"When you think about songs you want to perform, you often think about songs you heard while in your favorite truck," said Corbin. "It's easy to write a song like 'Let's Ride' because it is all about fun and having a good time, which is what the Ram brand is all about."

Ram and Corbin also collaborated on an upcoming "behind-the-scenes" video, which will be posted on their respective social media sites in August.

"Let's Ride" will also be the title track on a new album to be released July 31 in partnership with Dallas-based Gas Monkey Garage.

About TV Spots and Music Video
Ram and Corbin collaborated to create both TV commercials and a full length music video for "Let's Ride." The "Summer Nights"and "Carnival" spots and music video tell the story of a young couple sneaking out in their Ram 1500 for a night of summertime adventures. "Summer Nights" promotes the Ram 1500's 29 mpg highway fuel economy and shows the 8.4-in touchscreen set to SiriusXM's The Highway channel playing "Let's Ride." "Carnival" talks about how the Ram 1500 is best in towing, torque, payload and fuel economy. As it turns out, country music, Ram trucks, and Easton Corbin prove to be the perfect combination for summertime fun.

The ads were created in partnership with full-service advertising agency Doner and Nashville-based G7 Entertainment Marketing.

Ram partnered with Corbin several times in the past few years. He was one of five country music artists that participated in the Ram Truck brand's 2012 "Road to the Ram Jam" sweepstakes and concert. Ram continued to work with Corbin in 2013 as part of the brand's "Year of the Farmer" initiative highlighting the importance of farmers in America. As a former National FFA Organization member, Corbin made a series of visits and private concerts across the country to thank the hard-working and dedicated FFA members for all they do to further the notion that there's a "farmer in all of us."

Creating a distinct identity for Ram Trucks has allowed the brand to concentrate on core customers and features they find valuable.

1500
-- Best-in-class towing capability - 30,000 pounds with Ram 3500
-- Best-in-class payload - 7,390 pounds with Ram 3500
