Canaan Smith and his wife and his wife Christy are expecting their first child in November — and to celebrate the good news, Smith has released his new song "Life Ain't Fair," which is co-written by himself, Corey Crowder and Florida Georgia Line‘s Tyler Hubbard.

Canaan told People, “I don’t know which was better — the news or the happiness on her face. Mine too. That was the best and most meaningful moment of my life.”

He also shared that the couple will wait till birth to find out the baby's sex, “We love surprises and we are waiting to find out [the sex] in the delivery room. We both love unique names, so it’s been a blast to do this together."

The country artist has also released a video to go along with the song that features clips of the parents-to-be spending time together, including one extra-adorable moment where Smith kisses his wife’s baby bump.
