Nashville, TN – July 17, 2023 — Multi-Platinum entertainer Chris Young is set to release the ultimate weekend anthem — “Young Love & Saturday Nights” — this Friday, July 21. Co-produced by Young with Corey Crowder and Chris DeStefano, the song leans into David Bowie’s “Rebel Rebel” signature guitar lick, making the legendary rocker a writer on the song alongside Ashley Gorley, Jesse Frasure and Josh Thompson.

"When I first heard this song, I immediately connected with the groove and the lyrics with nods to so many things I can personally relate to,” says Young of the new song. “It made me think back to when I first got started playing country dive bars and it was the same kind of thing. I drove a beat-up truck to and from gigs where I played music hoping the audiences would relate… and if I’m being honest, hoping the girls would like it too,” he adds. “Young love and Saturday nights are things that just go together and this feels like one of those big summer songs where you just want to roll the windows down, crank up the volume, and just drive around to it.” While “Young Love & Saturday Nights” marks Bowie’s first official foray into country music, it is also the first co-producer collaboration for Young, Crowder and DeStefano. Tracked at the newly renovated Sony Music Publishing Studios Nashville, “Young Love & Saturday Nights” makes Young the first major artist to record in the updated studio where many iconic albums have been produced from top names such as Brooks & Dunn, Tracy Lawrence, Big & Rich and more. “Young Love & Saturday Nights” follows Young’s current single “Looking For You,” which was co-written by Young with Chris DeStefano, James McNair and Emily Weisband, and is currently Top 15-and-rising on the Billboard Country and Mediabase radio charts.
