Greylan James, hailed by SiriusXM as “a superstar just beginning to hit his stride” with his “impeccable songwriting and artistry,” has released his latest track, ‘Who Broke Up With You.' The new song, written by James along with industry heavyweights Brad Clawson and Ashley Gorley, is an upbeat, summer-ready anthem. It champions the art of authentic, face-to-face connection over the modern-day trend of digital flirting.

James explains, “I've been counting down the days to this song dropping, and I couldn't be more thrilled that it's finally out there. This song is for anyone who is better off without the person that didn't know what they had when they had it. Y'all crank it up loud for me.”
Since winning the Song of the Year at the 2024 ACM Awards, James has been riding a wave of success. His voice, described by Billboard as “an ideal transport for blue-collar romantic dramas,” first captivated audiences with his debut single “Young Man” released last October. The acoustic-driven track, co-written with Nashville stalwarts Jacob Davis and Josh Miller, tells the story of a young man gaining wisdom from his elders.
James is already a celebrated songwriter, having penned tracks for country music stars like Kenny Chesney, Chris Young, Cole Swindell, Darius Rucker, Chris Janson, Bailey Zimmerman, and Breland. His songwriting prowess earned him his first No. 1 hit with Jordan Davis' ‘Next Thing You Know' which also secured him an ACM Award and a CMA Award nomination for Song of the Year.
Adding to his impressive resume, James has toured with country luminaries such as Old Dominion, Cole Swindell, and Scotty McCreery. This fall, he will join Ashley Cooke on her Your Place Tour, hitting 17 cities across the country, including major stops in Chicago and New York City.
