It's been a while since John Mayer released a song, and we're thrilled the singer is back with a very country-sounding new track called "Shadow Days."

Mayer previewed a snippet of the song on his Tumblr earlier this month, but the full version hit the radio and Internet yesterday.

"Here's a clip of the first single off Born and Raised, called 'Shadow Days,' " Mayer wrote on Tumblr. "I'm excited to share the first bit of sound from the album ... Been looking forward to a post like this since October 14, 2010, the first day I started writing this group of songs. Enjoy."

Born and Raised will be Mayer's fifth studio album, and is expected to be released after he wraps up his spring tour on May 6.
