Zac Brown Band releases two additional tracks

Songs appear on forthcoming album

Warner Music Nashville/Home Grown Musicโ€™s Zac Brown Band is delighting old and new fans alike with more new music. โ€œStubborn Pride (featuring Marcus King),โ€ written by Zac Brown, Ben Simonetti and Marcus King, and โ€œParadise Lost on Me,โ€ written by Brown, Simonetti, Jonathan Singleton and Wyatt Beasley Durrette, III, both showcase the bandโ€™s GRAMMY award-winning, distinct sound. Both songs available digitally.

With poignant lyrics and a heartfelt message, โ€œStubborn Pride (featuring Marcus King)โ€ shows the bandโ€™s more serious side. โ€œโ€˜Stubborn Prideโ€™ means a lot to me,โ€ Brown shares. โ€œI love the poetry of the verses in this one. Sometimes it takes people a long time to get everything right. But with your stubborn pride, itโ€™s hard to admit that you messed up a little bit and that you need a change. I tell people that are having a hard time that itโ€™s never too late to get it right.โ€

The beachy โ€œParadise Lost on Meโ€ transports the listener to a tropical paradise, though Brown explains that itโ€™s โ€œthe happiest sad song we have ever done. I love the second verse: โ€˜Without you, itโ€™s just waves trashing kidsโ€™ castles and itโ€™s the salt in the wound all over again.โ€™ The guy found love there at this spot and never found anything like it again, so he comes back to that place again to be close to where it happened. In the song, we never give away what happened to her, but you know it was something he could never actually get over. You have to write your own story.โ€

The groupโ€™s unifying current radio single โ€œSame Boatโ€ was the most added at country radio week of impact and is rapidly approaching Top 20. With 18 million global streams to date, the poignant song debuted at No. 25 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart and No. 34 at Country Aircheck/Mediabase.

For more than a decade, Zac Brown Band has topped the charts, 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 nearly 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.

Up next for the band is The Comeback Tour, which kicks off next week in Holmdel, NJ and runs through October with Caroline Jones joining as the only female band member. In addition, as a special thank you to fans, Zac Brown Band along with many other superstar artists are celebrating the Return to Live concerts this summer by offering $20 all-in tickets to their shows across Live Nationโ€™s outdoor venues. Tickets are available to the general public while supplies last.
