CMA Awards Vocal Group of the Year 2021 nominee, Zac Brown Band, is sharing more new music today with the feel-good track “Fun Having Fun” (LISTEN HERE). Written by GRAMMY Award-winning lead singer Zac Brown alongside Kenny Habul, Kurt Thomas and Ben Simonetti, the song is featured on their forthcoming new album, The Comeback, which is set for release on October 15th via Warner Music Nashville/Home Grown Music and available to pre-order now (PRE-ORDER HERE).
“‘Fun Having Fun’ is about all the dumb stuff you do when you’re a kid,” explained Brown. “One of my co-writers on the track is actually my buddy Kurt (Thomas), who I went to high school with in Dahlonega. He and I made a demo tape when we were kids called KZ, for Kurt & Zac, and he was the first guy I ever sat down with and thought, ‘We’re gonna be big.’ It was fun to circle back to that time in my life and remember some of the things that we did together, especially with the perspective of now being a parent. We really wanted to include a bluegrass-type song on this album, and ‘Fun Having Fun’ was definitely the right one.”
The Comeback also features the unifying lead single, “Same Boat,” which has already accumulated more than 40 million streams worldwide and is rapidly approaching Top 10 at country radio. Entirely co-written and co-produced by Brown, the new record is the band’s latest since their 2019 release of The Owl, which debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 Chart and showcased the dynamic melodies and genre-bending sounds they have long been known for. The album included their hit single “Someone I Used To Know,” which won a CMT Award for Group Video of the Year
Zac Brown Band has topped the charts for more than a decade, with six consecutive albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200 and five consecutive albums debuting at No. 1 on Billboard's Country Albums chart. To date, the group has won three Grammy Awards (including Best New Artist in 2010), sold more than 30 million singles, nine million albums, amassed more than ten billion catalog streams, achieved 15 No. 1 radio singles, and is the second act to top both the Country and Active Rock format charts. The band is currently out on the road for The Comeback Tour, which runs through October (purchase tickets HERE).
