Kane Brown is currently sitting comfortably at the top of the charts with his newest single, “Thank God”, featuring his wife, Katelyn, but the accomplishment is only motivating the 29-year-old country star to write another one with a darker tone.
“Recently, I’ve been writing a lot of music. I actually wrote three the other day,” Brown told ET Canada backstage at the Bud Light Super Bowl Music Festival Saturday. “I’m super excited about this new music, so I’m just going to keep writing. We have the No. 1 song right now, me and my wife, so I gotta get something else pretty soon.”
“I will say I have a couple songs that are a little bit darker about mental health, and then I have a song called ‘Learning,’ that I went a little bit more in depth over the stuff that I went through, so I’m really excited about the music that we’re writing right now,” he added.

As for collaborations on this album in the making, Brown admits he hasn’t jumped into the studio with anyone just yet, but he’ll start thinking about
