The genre-spanning songwriter, entrepreneur and multiplatinum chart-topping artist Yelawolf shares his new single “My Country,” a hook-driven track that explores overlapping ideas of identity, culture, and home. “My Country” is the second single from Yelawolf’s upcoming album 45, which is slated for 2026 release via ONErpm.
“My Country” follows the release of the slow-burning single “Simple.”
Yelawolf has also announced The War Within Tour, alongside the Grammy-nominated alt-rock group Highly Suspect.
“This Highly Suspects tour is gonna be mayhem!!! ‘The War Within’ tour title says it all … the fans are gonna catch a wave of transition from all sides … I love rock and roll tours and we can’t fuckin wait !!!” – Yelawolf
Yelawolf built his career by breaking through artistic boundaries, and on his forthcoming album 45 he once again kicks down the doors of genre conventions. The result is a deeply personal collection of songs that unites elements of modern Americana with his signature vocal delivery while showcasing the full depth of his songwriting. Centered around his voice as both a singer and storyteller, 45 draws from a collision of distinctly American musical traditions – from the heartland sound of Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, the gritty storytelling of outlaw country troubadours to the loose, melodic swagger of Southern rock. Though widely known for his fiery rap delivery, Yelawolf sings on every track across 45, revealing a rawer and more vulnerable side of his artistry
13-track effort boasts a full circle contribution by Three 6 Mafia’s DJ Paul as well as New Zealand group Six60. Coupled with production by longtime collaborator Malay, 45 is the perfect marriage of all of Yelawolf’s musical inclinations.
“Overall, 45 is a confessional album,” writes Yelawolf. “I think the vulnerability and honesty is what’s going to connect with listeners the most. I didn’t know these songs were in me to be honest. But for many of the core fans… it may just be the album they’ve been waiting for from me.”
“For core fans, this album will not be much of a surprise,” Yelawolf says. “If you’ve been listening and following, you know that I’ve been singing my whole career. I decided for this particular album, I wanted to sing top to bottom. No rap verses—just a full singer-songwriter album.”
“This is the most important album of my life… but it’s scary as hell,” writes Yelawolf. “This is a big jump, but Malay did such a good job crafting this music to where it didn’t alienate where I came from. It just tips the hat to it so perfectly.”
By the end of the album closer, “Pair of Dice,” it’s clear Yelawolf is still who he’s always been—a fearless risk-taker, visionary, gifted storyteller and driven entrepreneur who, despite all odds, landed at the top. With 45, Yelawolf captures a vibrant snapshot of who he was, is and will become. The new era is here.
Yelawolf – My Country lyrics:
[Verse 1] Alabama sweet tea, brewing in the sun raysI was just sixteen, bumping UGK
True spokes and white walls, kin folks and outlaws
And no tin roof, chained to my roots like a junkyard dog [Chorus] It ain’t always what it seems
Ain’t no John Deere green
From the city to the backwoods
And I’m somewhere in between
That same old Bible Belt
Still holding up my stacks
I’m from the wrong side of the tracks
So my country doesn’t look like that
Doesn’t look like that
My country doesn’t look like that [Post Chorus] I’m just sitting outside, blurring the lines of the stereotypes
I’m just sitting outside, blurring the lines, blurring the lines, yeah [Verse 2] Tattoos and a six string, rapping about a bonfire
Running down a big dream, singing with the wrong choir
From a broken home, but I never felt alone
When I say I’m country, don’t get me wrong [Chorus] It ain’t always what it seems
Ain’t no John Deere green
From the city to the backwoods
And I’m somewhere in between
That same old Bible Belt
Still holding up my stacks
I’m from the wrong side of the tracks
So my country doesn’t look like that
Doesn’t look like that
My country doesn’t look like that [Post Chorus] I’m just sitting outside, blurring the lines of the stereotypes
I’m just sitting outside, blurring the lines, blurring the lines, yeah
