Kane Brown: His Five Best Songs So Far
Kane Brown will release his fourth studio album, The High Road, on Friday (1/24). It includes a collaboration with Jelly Roll, a couple of songs that are already hits, and a new duet with his wife Katelyn, it’s an album fans have been waiting for.
Brown, in a recent interview, discussed his fourth studio album, The High Road, from his new home studio outside Nashville.
He told the Associated Press, “I’ve always been nervous to push boundaries and do certain things. Since I’ve been here for a decade, I needed to stop hiding and do what I love.”
Kane added that he and his partners “gave our everything to the songs” on his upcoming album. Brown continued that this is “by far my favorite album, from the sequencing to the songwriting to the different sounds.” He says there is definitely a song for everybody. He added that whenever he asks somebody what’s their favorite song, he always gets a different answer, which he loves.
I’ve been interviewing Brown since he first hit the country music scene a handful of years ago and this guy is on top of his game. He knows what songs to write and he knows just how to present them on stage and in the recording studio.
I gathered what I believe are his five best songs to date. With a few more sure to make my list when the new album comes out.
“Like I Love Country Music” (2022)
It’s an upbeat song and fun to dance to. Kane told us of this number one song, “I wrote this song in 2019. I remember it was a little writer’s retreat thing on the road. So we had two different songs going, one in the back of the bus and one in the front of the bus. And I was in the back. And as I came up front, they, the writers, had this great idea. And they already had some of the first verse, and I just remember thinking, this could be a smash.” The video was filmed at The Nashville Palace dancehall and honky tonk.

“Gorgeous” (2025)
This song hit the emotional mark and is already one of his best. Kane said of the song, “‘Gorgeous’ is really a heartfelt song if you listen to it word for word. It’s telling you it’s not all about the stuff that you wear, ya know, or anything like that, it’s just about the person you are and the beauty inside you that makes you gorgeous.”
The first verse and chorus of the song lyrics are: “If looks could kill, I’d be six deep / Girl, you’re drop dead, you got me droppin’ to my knees / You’re eleven out of ten from your head down to your feet / Yeah, you’re perfect, as perfect can be.”
“Worship You” (2020)
The music video was filmed in the Jackson Hole, Wyoming, mountain forests and starred Brown’s wife, Katelyn, and their young daughter, Kingsley. Kane told us of the song, “‘Worship You’ is basically ‘Heaven’ 2.0; it’s saying that your girl, your wife, is your everything. You know that she doesn’t walk on water or anything like that, but you basically praise her. Originally, it was thinking about Kate, you know, but then I did this video that I put on my Instagram; it was me, Kate, and Kingsley, and I was singing it to Kingsley.”
He added, “It’s basically just worshiping my family now; they’re both my girls, and I’d do anything for them. Worship the ground they walk on. I feel like it’s going to be a wedding song.”
“Worldwide Beautiful” (2020)
Brown told us of the epic video at the time it was released, “I think it’s the biggest music video that we’ve done. This was one that I didn’t really get to see the treatment for. We did it in Mount Pleasant, which is 45 minutes to an hour away from Nashville, going toward Alabama, and it was awesome. But when I got there and saw that those cops had everyone pulled over, I thought that someone had really wrecked. Like, I didn’t know that that was the set. It looked like the town was literally abandoned.”
“Thank God” (2022)
This is one of country music’s best love songs of the last ten years. This song was the first number-one song by a husband and wife (Kane and Katelyn Brown) since Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s “It’s Your Love” in 1997. The music video was shot in Hawaii. The video won the 2023 CMT Video of the Year honor at the April award show. The popular video has over 55 million views on YouTube.
