Country music favorite Lee Brice is answering fan demand with his newest track, “Country Nowadays,” hitting streaming platforms this Friday, February 20th. Written with Matt Alderman and Nate Kenyon, the song is a heartfelt reflection on the times, celebrating small-town values while lamenting the state of the world. With rich acoustic instrumentation and Brice’s signature twang, “Country Nowadays” is an honest, soul-stirring look at life, love, and community in a fast-changing world.

When he’s not touring packed arenas or recording new hits, Brice enjoys family life with his wife Sara, their two boys, and daughter. He also manages his lifestyle brands, Dulce Vida Tequila and Loud Lemon, showing that he’s just as dedicated off-stage as he is on. With over 10 billion career streams, multiple No. 1 radio singles, and a string of Platinum-certified hits, Brice continues to be a powerhouse in country music.

Brice has earned GRAMMY, CMA, and ACM recognition, with nine No. 1 singles including “Memory I Don’t Mess With”, “Rumor”, “I Hope You’re Happy Now” with Carly Pearce, and ASCAP’s 2021 Country Song of the Year “One of Them Girls.” His music has been recorded by legends like Garth Brooks, Jason Aldean, and Kenny Chesney, and he’s appeared on major TV programs from NBC’s Today to FOX’s Miss USA.

Following his reflective 2025 single “Killed the Man” and the Platinum-certified album Hey World, Brice proves once again that his music speaks to the heart of everyday life. With “Country Nowadays,” he captures the spirit of the Gulf Coast—family, community, and a love for honest, heartfelt country music.

“Country Nowadays” drops this Friday, February 20th, on all streaming platforms.
