Maddox Batson continues his fast rise with the release of new single ‘If I See Her Again,' an upbeat, emotionally candid track that blends youthful country-pop energy with heart-on-his-sleeve storytelling. Recently praised by the Los Angeles Times as “a country Justin Bieber in the making” and recognised as the youngest male ever featured on Billboard’s 21 Under 21 list, Batson delivers a song centred on the universal feeling of wishing for a second chance after a missed romantic moment. Written with Grant Averill, Dave Cohen and Jackson Foote, and released via Warner Records and Prosper Entertainment, the track pairs a breezy groove with relatable lyrics about hesitation, hope and youthful honesty.
The single follows recent release ‘Any Other Night' and arrives ahead of Batson’s ambitious Live Worldwide Tour 2026, which will take him across North America before his first headline run through Europe. The young artist has been building momentum quickly, with appearances tied to Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, a victory at a tournament hosted by Good Good Golf, and growing media attention from outlets including Forbes, USA Today, American Songwriter, NBC Nightly News, People and the podcast This Past Weekend with Theo Von. Following festival and milestone performances in 2025 — including his debut at Grand Ole Opry and tour dates with Lainey Wilson — Batson is positioning 2026 as his most expansive year yet.
