The Band Perry Celebrates Their Fourth #1 Song – “DONE.”
Reid and Neil Perry’s First #1 Song as Writers
First Cut and First #1 Song for Co-Writers John & Jacob
Celebration Hosted by BMI, SESAC, BMLG, WME and Major Bob Music
Nashville, TN – (August 28, 2013) – Siblings Kimberly,
Reid and Neil – the superstar trio better known as The Band Perry –
celebrated their fourth #1 song on Monday for their most recent hit
“DONE.” The celebration marks a milestone for Reid and Neil Perry, as
this is their very first #1 song as writers.
“‘DONE.’ was the last song we wrote for Pioneer. When we finished
it, we knew the album was complete. In ‘DONE.’ we are giving voice to
the underdog. We were feeling like ones ourselves at the time we wrote
it. It’s about rising above whatever circumstances are getting you
down.” says Neil Perry.

“People have made this one their own. We still sign autographs
after most of our shows because we love to hear our fans’ stories about
how they make TBP songs the soundtracks for different things happening
in their lives. This one was apparently a big call to action. So much
so, that we renamed it ‘DONE. Busting Up Bad Relationships Everywhere’!”

“When I first heard ‘DONE.’ I thought it was fantastic that four
guys could write such a wonderfully catty song – I’m going to let them
pen all of our “breakup” songs in the future!” says Kimberly Perry.
