Jason Aldean still doesn't understand why his song 'Try That in a Small Town' and its accompanying music video have caused so much controversy.

In a preview clip from an upcoming CBS Mornings interview, the 46-year-old country star is asked about his initial reaction to critics claiming his music and imagery had racist undertones and were inciting violence.

When CBS News' Jan Crawford suggests that the music video was seen as threatening for Black people, Aldean counters that people of all races were featured in the video, which he finds confusing.

The 'Try That in a Small Town' music video faced criticism for its use of Black Lives Matter protest footage and lyrics like: 'Got a gun that my granddad gave me/They say one day they're gonna round up/Well, that s--- might fly in the city/Good luck.'
