Multi-Platinum country powerhouse Nate Smith has joined forces with Diamond-certified superstar Tyler Hubbard for their electrifying new collaboration ‘After Midnight,' out today via Sony Music Nashville. Co-written by Hubbard alongside Casey Brown (who also produced the track) and Corey Crowder, the song captures the magic and mischief that unfolds once the clock strikes twelve.
Blending a campfire sing-along feel with the energy of an arena-ready anthem, Smith kicks things off with vivid imagery — “Tailgates go down, solos get flipped, girls get to dancing when headlights get lit” — before launching into a roaring chorus that celebrates the thrill of late-night revelry. Hubbard matches Smith’s high-octane delivery, joining him for a raucous, harmony-fuelled hook and a guitar-charged finale built to light up stages and tailgate parties alike.
The accompanying music video, directed by Jeff Johnson and Kaiser Cunningham, brings the song’s party spirit to life. Set around a roaring bonfire, Smith and Hubbard lead a night of fun and chaos with friends as red cups are raised, four-wheelers rev, and good times roll under the stars.
With its infectious hook, electric chemistry, and down-home energy, ‘After Midnight' cements Nate Smith’s momentum as one of modern country’s most exciting voices and adds another hit to Tyler Hubbard’s impressive catalog of feel-good anthems.
