NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Mixing magnetic attraction with a sleek roots-R&B groove, rising country star Maddox Batson begins a new chapter with his first release of 2026, “Any Other Night.”
Dripping in the confident, swaggering passion of youth, “Any Other Night” marks the first in a string of upcoming releases from a skyrocketing talent who has already become the youngest male artist to appear on Billboard’s 21 Under 21.
Co-written by Batson with Jesse Frasure and Jacob Hackworth and produced by Frasure, the track finds the 16-year-old Nashville native ditching his friends and their typical hangouts for something with more meaning – and a love he can’t resist. Featuring a smooth vocal flow, clean guitars and a laid back digital beat, the heart-on-fire fusion of country, pop and R&B becomes a coming-of-age anthem, all about romantic memories in the making.
“I’m so stoked about my new single and the music video for ‘Any Other Night,’” Batson enthuses. “This was an amazing collaboration with some great writers, Jacob Hackworth and Jesse Frasure. Just really good guys, and great Nashville songwriters. We wanted to tap into my age group’s normal vibes and what it’s like choosing between that and your crush. It has a great feel, and I’m looking forward to the fans’ reaction.”

Showing new growth as an artist, “Any Other Night” has attracted massive fan attention as the follow up to Batson’s 2025 EP, First Dance, as well as singles “No More” and “Coincidence.” A TikTok teaser of the track recorded 3.5M views and 202K likes, while an Instagram post generated 1.2M views and 35K likes.

After making his Stagecoach festival debut in 2025, Batson wrapped his 29-city I Need A Truck Tour and supported select dates on Lainey Wilson’s Whirlwind Tour.
