Scotty McCreery announced that he is releasing his fifth studio album, Same Truck, on September 17.

The project features his current Top 15 single “You Time” and his recently released song “Why You Gotta Be Like That.”

Originally the album was going to be announced in August but after intense fan demand following the release of “Why You Gotta Be Like That” caused pre-sale information to leak, McCreery and his label both decided to announce the album early as a thank you to his fans for fervently supporting his music through the years.

Scotty said, “It’s gratifying to learn that my fans are so excited about my upcoming new album that they sought out pre-order information before it was ready to be announced….and got it. Thanks to Triple Tigers and the retailers for coming together quickly so we could make this official album announcement. I can’t wait to share this music with everyone.”

He added, “My last album was about me as a young man getting ready to get married. Same Truck is me three years later, taking a moment to acknowledge where I am now as a 27-year-old, happily married man, sharing both what I’ve learned and where I want to go.”
