Zach Bryan is keeping his word—and keeping fans on their toes—with the surprise release of his highly anticipated song, “Blue Jean Baby,” set to drop tonight at midnight. The Oklahoma-born superstar had teased earlier this week that the track would only be released if the Philadelphia Eagles won their NFC Championship game against the Washington Commanders this afternoon. Following the Eagles’ decisive victory, Bryan wasted no time in announcing the song’s imminent release.
Taking to social media shortly after the game, Bryan posted, “BIRDS WIN. OUT AT MIDNIGHT. SEE YALL IN NEW ORLEANS. EP AND ALBUM BY THE END OF THE YEAR.” The song has been one of the most requested by fans since Bryan first shared a short clip of it late last year.
While Bryan has remained tight-lipped about the specifics of “Blue Jean Baby,” early previews and fan speculation suggest the song delves into youthful love, freedom, and longing themes. Known for his poetic lyricism and stripped-down, heartfelt sound, Bryan is expected to deliver yet another track that resonates deeply with his growing audience.
This release follows an eventful start to the year for Bryan. After releasing two singles, “The World’s a Giant” and “High Road,” earlier this month and wrapping up 2024 with a live recordings compilation, he’s proving to be one over and over of the most prolific voices in country and American music.
Bryan’s personal life has also been a topic of conversation among fans. After a public breakup with Brianna LaPaglia last fall, Bryan has channeled his emotions into his music, creating a raw, authentic connection with his audience. Despite declaring that he would no longer tour, he has announced a string of select performances, including appearances at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, and international shows in Ireland and the U.K.
Blue Jean Baby will be out everywhere tonight at midnight.
