What is Blake Sheltons new song called?

Fans of Blake Shelton's early days have a treat in store: The singer's got plans to release a new single that he says is a throwback to the heyday of '90s country. Called "No Body," the song is a co-write between Rodney Clawson, Josh Kear and Chris Tompkins, and Shelton says hearing it for the first time reminded him of his electric first years in Nashville.

"I get excited and feel like a kid every time we release new music," the singer explains. "But this song in particular takes me back to the '90s when I was in high school and first moved to Nashville, because it feels like what the music sounded like at that time."

In keeping with the throwback vibe, Shelton shared the cover art for his new single on his social channels. The photo shows him in '90s country getup, complete with a black cowboy hat and his signature early-era blond mullet.

"Had to bring back the mullet just for y'all," the singer says in the caption of his post.

"No Body" is due out on Friday (Aug. 19), along with a music video, which was filmed in a bar in the Los Angeles area. A press release hints that Shelton's mullet just might make an appearance in that clip, too, as will '90s line dancing.

Shelton's latest full-length project is the deluxe version of his Body Language album, a project that came out in late 2021. At that time, he said that he wanted to get a handful of new songs to fans' ears despite not being ready to release a new album. "No Body" isn't attached to the deluxe version of Body Language, meaning that a new musical chapter — and a new album — from Shelton just might be on its way.

Shelton's newest single "No Body" is out now

Blake Shelton is throwing it back to the '90s — and in case the OG fans are wondering ... yes, the mullet is coming back too.

Friday marked the release of Shelton's newest song titled "No Body" with an accompanying music video. In the song, Shelton pays tribute to the '90s — the time when he moved to Nashville to follow his dreams of being a country singer.

To capture this idea in the music video, Shelton decided to travel back in time when country bars were filled with line dancing — making him feel like a teenager again.

"I remember saying to Scott Hendricks (his producer), 'Wow, man, this would've had a line dance to it if it had come out in the '90s,' " Shelton, 46, tells PEOPLE. "That was the last time we ever looked back."

Aside from the '90s-inspired bar and line dancing, Shelton decided he would really lean into the idea by wearing his classic mullet and cowboy hat again.

"[Wearing the mullet] felt completely natural to me," he says. "Especially making the video in this particular bar. The air conditioning wasn't on. It was hot in there."

He adds, "Hair was sticking to my neck and the side of my face. And I remember thinking, 'Oh yeah, this is why I ended up cutting my mullet off.' Not because it wasn't cool anymore or trendy, just because it was physically irritating."

And though it's been years since The Voice coach rocked the mullet — he says he probably wouldn't do it again.

"I guess I don't care about trends, because when I had the mullet, it wasn't cool. And now that mullets are cool, I don't have one. So I guess I don't follow. I should. I'm not against them. I'm just always a little bit late."

"No Body" tells the story of a guy who doesn't want to be with anybody but the person he's with — literally "No Body."

"Don't wanna scoot the boots with no body/Get straight tequila drunk on no body," he sings. "Wrap these arms around no body/No body but yours."

Shelton realizes that the hook may be a bit confusing at first — but to him, that's what's so fun about it!

"Since I've had it recorded and just playing it for Gwen [Stefani] or my family or friends or whatever, you play that stuff, because you want to see what get a read on people. And everybody would say, 'I don't really understand what that means. 'Nobody but yours.' Why are you saying that?' "

He continues, "Well, that's the trick of it. It's no body. No body, like the shape of your body. No body, but yours. And I love that it throws people off a little bit. In my mind, that means people are going to listen to it multiple times."

"No Body" is out now.
