Chase Rice version

"Ride"
Song

American bro-country singer Chase Rice recorded a version of "Ride" which was a bonus track on his album Ignite the Night. The version was recorded after Rice jokingly tweeted SoMo a Photoshopped cover of his face on SoMo's album, and SoMo tweeted back that Rice should record a country version of the song.[8] This version reached No. 38 on the Hot Country Songs chart,[9] and has sold 413,000 copies in the US as of February 2016.[10]
