Tucker Wetmore’s sizzling new track “Sunburn” captures the heat of a beachside romance. From sun-soaked days to late-night romance, the tune, out now via Back Blocks Music/MCA/ Mercury Records, immerses listeners in the thrill and intimacy of a secret summer fling.

Co-written by Ryan Hurd, Jaxson Free, and Daniel Ross and produced by Chris LaCorte, “Sunburn” tells the story of someone who embarks on a spontaneous solo getaway, with a goal of enjoying some down time and playing some songs on the beach. It was supposed to be a quick trip, but the man ends up “stayin’ all week” after meeting someone who was worth sticking around for.

“Was playin’ red red wine and you were sippin’ on yours/ You had your friend come up to me and ask if I’m on my own/ I asked her why and she said that girl over there wants to know/ A couple rum runners later and it was just me and you/ We said we won’t tell nobody but baby everyone knew ‘bout,” Wetmore sings in the opening verse.

As he illustrates in the chorus, a few drinks eventually turn into an all-consuming, heat-of-the-moment rendezvous between him and a mystery girl. Though the pair only spend a few nights together, he admits they’re able to tune out the rest of the world, making it feel like “we had our own island.”

Wetmore continues, “Them hotel sheets we were under/ Couldn’t tell you which room or number/ All I know is I was fallin’ in deeper/ And that door said do not disturb/ Yeah you hit me like a heat wave/ We stayed up all night all day/ Waves crashin’ outside like thunder/ Your body on mine like a sunburn.”

The Washington native’s vocals glide effortlessly over the breezy, laid-back instrumentation, perfectly capturing the warmth and intensity of a fleeting summer romance. With its mix of playful storytelling and heartfelt desire, “Sunburn” can easily be described as a carefree, sun-soaked anthem that leaves listeners longing to feel the sand between their toes and the rush of a connection that burns with the hot summer sun.

“Sunburn” follows the success of Tucker Wetmore’s fan-favorite track, “Brunette” which recently topped the U.K. Radio Country Airplay chart for three consecutive weeks and earned a spot in the Top 15 at Country radio in the U.S. Spawning from his debut album, What Not To, the hit has also racked up more than 225M U.S. streams.

Tucker Wetmore is currently heating up stages with his growing list of hits on The Brunette World Tour presented by NÜTRL Vodka Seltzer. He kicked things off in February with sold-out shows in Boston and New York City as well as his first-ever arena headlining show in Harrisburg, Pa. 17 new dates have since been added to the run, including shows in major markets such as Los Angeles, Chicago and more.

Wetmore will be joined by Maddox Batson, William Beckmann, George Birge, Jacob Hackworth, Braxton Keith and Stella Lefty for select dates.

Additionally, he’s set to head down under for dates in Australia, perform across the U.K. and EU, including three sold-out nights in London, and join Jordan Davis, HARDY and Brooks & Dunn on tour for select dates.

Carly Pearce had fans buzzing when she recently wiped her Instagram clean, leaving just a steamy preview of a music video featuring Riley Green to speculate over. At this point, it became clear that the pair would be teaming up for a new collaboration and today, the result of that partnership finally arrives with “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay.”

The anticipation was worth the wait as the superstar duet effortlessly intertwines their vocals, creating a sultry, tension-filled narrative that keeps listeners hooked from the first note to the last.

Written by Devin Dawson, Seth Ennis, Jordan Minton, and Jordan Reynolds, the lyrics capture the emotions of a couple who can’t resist each other, , even though they know the consequences that lie ahead.

Pearce and Green explore the thrill and danger of late-night temptation, where one more drink could lead to some bad decisions that will ultimately result in heartbreak. Still, they can’t help but give into the desire to start over and see where things could go. The pair admit, “We’re so good at striking matches, but we’re no good at ever putting out the flame.”

Their passion-filled vocals intertwine, with Pearce’s emotive tone perfectly complimenting Green’s raw delivery. The chemistry between the two artists is undeniable.

“If I don’t leave, I’m gonna stay/ If we don’t stop, we’re gonna start all over again/ And if I bend, I’m gonna break/ We’re gonna blame it on the rain, or on the wine/ We’re getting close to losing clothes/ I should go, look at the time, it’s getting late/ If I don’t leave, I’m gonna stay,” they sing on the chorus.

The release was also paired with a music video that’s sure to get fans’ hearts racing. Directed by Wes Edwards, the video finds Pearce and Green navigating the push-and-pull of whether to let the night continue or walk away.

Candlelit slow dance scenes intertwine with morning-after glimpses, showing a shirtless Green surveying a messy bed, burned-down candles, and empty wine glasses scattered across the living room. As he prepares a cup of tea, he reflects on the choices made the night before, but keeps fans wondering what really unfolded.

Co-produced by Pearce and longtime collaborator Ben West, “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay” is a steamy, emotionally charged addition to both artists’ catalogs.

“Collaborating with artists I’m a fan of is one of my favorite things to do,” shares Pearce. “I’ve been a fan of Riley’s for so long and knew if we could find the right moment, it would be special. ‘If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay’ is the perfect moment for us!”

“I’ve been a huge fan of Carly and her voice for a long time, so it was cool to get the text from her about this song,” adds Green. “The harmonies were unique and there was something really different about it. I’m glad she thought of me for this song, it’s awesome to get to do something together.”

The new song is the latest in a string of releases that preview Pearce’s next era of music. Her collaboration with Riley Green follows “Church Girl” and “Dream Come True.” Pearce is continuing to prepare her fifth studio album, with more new music expected in the coming months.

This month, Pearce will head back to Australia to perform at CMC Rocks. In May, she will make her way to the UK and Ireland for her headlining Inside The Dream Tour, including a stop at the iconic Royal Albert Hall and a headline set at London’s Highways Festival.

With his new single, “Woman,” Kane Brown is making one thing clear: he loves his wife. He’s written love songs for Katelyn before, but this time he’s turning up the energy and shouting that passion from the rooftops, louder than ever before.

The song, penned by Brown with John Byron, Ashley Gorley, Ben Johnson and Taylor Phillips, was both inspired and dedicated to his other half, who he describes as being “one in a million.” The country star explained to Audacy’s Katie Neal that the title just fell into his lap and saved a writing session that was making him feel burnt out.  

“We were finishing this one song we were working on and I just got up to go warm up my food and as I’m warming up my food, this title just falls in my lap, ‘They’re talking about girls, but I got a woman,’” he explained. “So I went and sat down and I told em, ‘I think I got the next song we’re going to work on.’ And they said, ‘What is it?’ And I told them, and they’re like, ‘Where’s that been all day?’ I said, ‘I literally just thought about it in the kitchen.’ And I don’t know, it kind of just wrote itself.”

He added that even Ashely Gorley, who has written over 80 No. 1 hits, felt that the song would become “massive.” And there’s no doubt that’s exactly what it’s destined for, not only because of its clever storyline, but also the fun nature behind the tune.

It’s a feel-good anthem about a man who admits he has no interest in going out chasing other girls because he already has everything he needs waiting at home. As hard as his friends try to convince him to hit the town, he makes it clear he’s staying put for the woman he loves. The carefree track carries an infectious spirit that practically begs listeners to dance and sing along.

“Yeah, they talkin’ ’bout girls (Girls)/ But I got a woman (I got a woman)/ Yeah, I got a woman right here in my hands/ They talkin’ ’bout girls (Girls)/ But I got a woman (I got a woman)/ Yeah, I got a woman/ Oh yeah, and she got a man,” Brown sings on the chorus.

With its upbeat groove that channels the energy of country classics like Shania Twain’s “I Feel Like A Woman” and a sound blending modern and pop country, Woman” feels destined to become the windows-down anthem of the summer.

“It’s brought me back to listening to ..I don’t know why, but ‘I Feel Like A Woman’ from Shania Twain and then ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.’ For some reason it feels like it’s in that realm. It’s a big realm to be in, but I feel like that’s what it’s in…once we finished this one, it was a no-brainer that this was the single,” he notes.

Today’s release was also paired with a music video that was filmed at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida to create a colorful ’90s throwback vibe that finds Brown showing off his dance moves, matching the fun-filled energy of the song. The video features Brown alongside his wife Katelyn and their oldest daughter, Kingsley, making it clear he’s got more than one female in his life who has stolen his heart.

According to the country star, this self-proclaimed “earworm” offers a glimpse into his new creative direction and previews his upcoming album. It also marks his first taste of new music since his 2025 record, The High Road.

The Sony Music Nashville artist explained that his next album is on track to be done by July. He says he has written “so many” new songs recently and he loves all of them, which means it’s going to be a difficult task to narrow down the track list.

Brown goes on to tease the project, noting it’s got, “A lot of good messages, a lot different than my last album. My last album, just to be completely honest with you, I felt like it was a little rushed. When people were asking me what the name was, I felt like I was kind of on autopilot. I just wasn’t there…But now I’m more motivated than ever, feel like this is like my jump. So this album’s the one.”

Kane Brown will get to showcase “Woman” and the other new music on the way throughout his string of festival dates in 2026.
