"What Are You Listening To?" is a song by Chris Stapleton. The song is about a person who is wondering what someone else is listening to, and whether it is a sad song playing on the radio station, a love song about someone new, or something else entirely. The lyrics suggest that the person listening to the music is going through a difficult time, and the song they are listening to reflects their emotions. The song also explores the idea that music can be a way to cope with difficult emotions, and that people often turn to music to help them get through tough times. The lyrics mention different scenarios, such as a cover band in a college town bar, a sad song playing on the radio station, or a feel-good song that gets you driving too fast. The song has a slow, melancholic melody that matches the mood of the lyrics.
