1. The title track to the new record “Famous Friends” was intended to be a multi-faceted story that is relatable to fans.

“There is an angle to this that is supposed to be what’s going to click with everybody that hears it. It’s not what you think when you first see the title. […] We’re really taking the hat off to all the people that might not be famous to everybody else but they’re famous to you, to your hometown, to your friends.”

2. The new record is full of collaborations and duets, which inspired Young to name the record ‘Famous Friends.’

“There are more guest appearances on this project than I ever had before. […] From producers to writers to players, there are so many people that got involved in this, whether they are well-known to the outside world or whether they’re well-known to the circle of Nashville songwriters or Nashville music.”

3. The new record marks the first time Young ever produced songs with collaborator and songwriter Chris DeStefano (“Aw Naw” “Losing Sleep”).

“We really spent a lot of time in the fifteen months trying out different production stuff and making sure all of the songs on the record have their own space.”

4. Famous Friends was reinvented during quarantine and turned into an entirley new project far past the last four years when the project first started.

“A lot of the stuff… take “At The End of a Bar” specifically, that got written when it froze over in Nashville this year,” adding later, “There are so many songs that got written and cut during this period of time. Now fans get even more music with fourteen songs.”

5. Young did not listen to the full album in order until he had a physical copy of it when it was ready to come out.

“I’ve done all of the tiny tweaks before sending it to masters […] When we get that first physical one in, I’ll grab a CD, get in my car and listen to it top-down once, and I’m like ‘alright, it’s complete.’”

On the heels of Chris Young’s radio single “Famous Friends” featuring Kane Brown going number one on country radio, the singer is sharing even more music. Today, Young drops another jam entitled “One of Them Nights.”

This song has “tour” written all over it! “One of Them Nights” is a rowdy, feel-good song that will get everyone’s hearts pumping, during a live show. Young taps into his party-side on the brand new track. The new song is just another taste of what fans can expect from the entertainer’s upcoming album Famous Friends, due out on August 6th.

“Feels like one of them nights // Barbed wire, mud-tired, throw a pallet on the fire // We’ve been waiting all week // Shoes on the floorboards, creakin’ dance floor // sounds like a party to me // feels like one of them nights”

Young has a knack for weaving hard-hitting songs throughout his projects. “One of Them Nights” definitely fits the bill. Make sure to check back next month for our full review of the upcoming record!

Written by Chris Young with Christian Stalnecker, Josh Hoge, Mark Holman, and Matt McGinn, “Rescue Me” is a mid-tempo ballad about finding that special person who becomes the one you put before yourself, the person you’d do anything for, and the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. However, before making that commitment you want to make sure that person is ready to reciprocate those feelings and is ready to rescue you. It’s a beautiful track that teaches an important lesson that relationships should be an equal partnership and that everyone deserves to find their hero.

“But tell me, who is gonna rescue me? // ‘Cause it sure feels like I’m kryptonite // How you got me on one knee, with my hand out beggin’ for mercy. // Yeah, what’s a happy ending if I can’t get the girl? // What’s it matter if I save the world if you don’t promise me before you take this ring // And rescue me …”

Young first teased the song back in February, asking fans for feedback and if it should be included on his next album. This isn’t the first time the singer-songwriter has teased new music on social media. He previously shared “If That Ain’t God” and “In It”.

Luckily, we won’t have to wait long to hear the rest of the album. Young announced that his eighth studio album, Famous Friends, will be released on August 6th^th. It’s been four years since the Tennessee Native released a full album and we can’t wait to listen!
