Multi-Platinum and award-winning singer-songwriter Lee Brice is set to release his highly anticipated new track, “Country Nowadays,” this Friday, February 20th. Written by Brice alongside Matt Alderman and Nate Kenyon, the song reflects a yearning for simpler times, as the husband, father, and small-town heartland voice laments the state of modern America. Backed by rich acoustic arrangements, Brice delivers an honest, twangy confessional that resonates with listeners seeking a return to core values and heartfelt connection.
When he’s not selling out arenas, recording, or growing his lifestyle brands Dulce Vida Tequila and Loud Lemon, Brice cherishes family life with his wife Sara, two sons, and daughter. With over 10 billion career streams, Brice remains a dominant force on country radio, streaming platforms, and live stages. He has claimed the No. 1 spot with “Memory I Don’t Mess With” and followed a string of chart-topping hits, including ASCAP’s 2021 Country Song of the Year “One of Them Girls”, the 4x Platinum “Rumor”, and the duet “I Hope You’re Happy Now” with Carly Pearce.
A GRAMMY nominee, CMA and ACM award winner, and one of Pandora’s most-played country artists of all time, Brice has nine No. 1 radio singles to his name. His songs have been recorded by legends like Garth Brooks, Jason Aldean, and Kenny Chesney, and he’s performed on major television programs, including NBC’s Today, ABC’s The Bachelor, and The Voice. Notably, he performed at the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize honoring Garth Brooks and took home Musical Event of the Year at the 54th CMA Awards for “I Hope You’re Happy Now.”
Brice’s 2020 Platinum-certified album Hey World features multiple multi-Platinum hits, and his reflective single “Killed the Man” was released in October 2025. With “Country Nowadays,” Lee Brice continues to deliver music that speaks to the heart, celebrates authentic country storytelling, and reminds fans why he remains one of the genre’s most trusted voices.
“Country Nowadays” will be available on all streaming platforms this Friday, February 20th.
