Three-time GRAMMY-winning duo Dan + Shay have officially unveiled details of their highly anticipated sixth studio album, ‘Young,' set for release on August 21. Marking a deeply personal new chapter for Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney, the project arrives as a reflection of life, growth and perspective, captured during one of the most defining periods of their 13-year career.
Leading the announcement is the release of the album’s title track, ‘Young,' which drops at midnight, offering fans their first real glimpse into the heart of the record. Co-produced by Smyers alongside longtime collaborator Scott Hendricks, the album leans into themes of family, faith and the pursuit of dreams, with each song rooted in real-life experiences. The duo have described ‘Young' as their most personal work to date, a collection that captures “a real-time snapshot” of where they are both creatively and personally.
The new project builds on the momentum of their previous album ‘Bigger Houses,' which delivered a GRAMMY-nominated No.1 title track and further cemented their place at the forefront of country-pop. Alongside the upcoming title track release, current single ‘Say So' continues to climb at country radio, resonating with listeners through its powerful message around mental health and suicide prevention.
With Young, Dan + Shay appear to be leaning further into authenticity than ever before, pairing their signature polished sound with a more introspective, story-driven approach that reflects both their journey so far and the road still ahead.
