Many Bryan fans were rooting for the Eagles in the NFC Championship. Earlier this month, the singer promised that, should his team come out victorious, he’d release the song.
“IF THE BIRDS WIN THE NFC BLUE JEAN BABY IS OUT SUNDAY NIGHT,” he wrote on Instagram Jan. 19. “WRITTEN AND RECORDED IN PHILLY.”
Bryan had previously released snippets of the track, and it quickly became a fan favorite, prompting calls for the full version to be made public.
Listeners got their wish at midnight on Jan. 27.
“BIRDS WIN. OUT AT MIDNIGHT,” he wrote on Instagram of the track.
He then turned his attention to the upcoming Super LIX, in which Bryan’s Eagles will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs.
“SEE YALL IN NEW ORLEANS,” he wrote of the big game’s host city.
That wasn’t all, though. Bryan also took the opportunity to reveal that fans have even more to look forward to in the year ahead.
“EP AND ALBUM BY THE END OF THE YEAR,” he promised.
In addition to “Blue Jean Baby,” Bryan previously revealed that he’d be releasing a reimagined version of Jack Van Cleaf’s “Rattlesnake” on Jan. 29, featuring the artist himself.
Zach Bryan Fans Have More to Look Forward To
In 2024, Bryan released his most recent album, The Great American Bar Scene. Singles from the LP included “Pink Skies” and “Purple Gas.”
When things took a dramatic turn in his personal life amid his split from Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia, Bryan released two songs, “High Road” and “This World’s A Giant.”
He ended the year by dropping a live album, 24 (Live), a compilation of his time on the road for The Quittin’ Time Tour.
That tour might be Bryan’s last ever. He said in November that he’d be quitting touring to complete a masters program in Paris. However, that doesn’t mean he’s done with live shows. In 2025, Bryan is scheduled to play Stagecoach, as well as several shows in the U.K. He also has three New Jersey concerts on the books. Bryan’s last-booked show will be on Aug. 15 in San Francisco.
