Kane Brown posted a preview of a new song he is working on in the recording studio, and the song has some pretty dark lyrics. The new clip posted on Instagram sings in part in the lyrics, “Haunted by the voice in my head / Haunted by the taste of that lead / I wanted too many times to jump off the edge / Thinking I was better off dead / I’m haunted only every other night / Haunted, and I wish I knew why / I wanted too many times to be gone by morning / If I’m honest, yeah, I’m haunted.”

Kane posted a video clip  from the recording studio of the new song playing on the soundboard and wrote, “Sneak preview of a heavy song about depression and horrible thoughts and feelings that I feel like a lot of us go through but don’t like to talk about with other people. If you relate to the song at all just know you’re not alone and I love you.”

Brown recently learned through a video message that his song “Heaven” has been certified Diamond, marking ten million and becoming only the seventh artist in country music to do so.

Kane posted a series of video clips he watched from friends and fellow Diamond club members congratulating him on the honor on Instagram. Luke Combs, who went Diamond with “Beautiful Crazy,” started by telling Brown, “Listen, I heard that ‘Heaven’ has gone Diamond, and not many people have done that. I just want to say welcome to the club, man. Super cool. You’ve always been awesome, and let’s hang out sometime. Congrats.”

Tyler Hubbard, a Diamond club member thanks to Florida Georgia Line’s “Cruise,” said, “What’s up, Kane? I just wanted to say congratulations, buddy, with a Diamond-certified song, ‘Heaven.’ That is such a huge achievement, buddy. Welcome to the Diamond Club.”

Kane says, “I’ve been waiting for this.”

Lady A’s Hillary Scott, who achieved Diamond status with her group’s song, “Need You Now,” told Kane, “Welcome to the Diamond Club. Your song ‘Heaven’ has obviously touched so many hearts and lives. Congratulations on this unbelievable milestone.”

Darius Rucker, a Diamond member because of his song “Wagon Wheel,” said to his friend, “Hey Kane, welcome to the Diamond Club, man.” Brown sighed, saying, “Aw, that’s awesome.”

Kane Brown: His Five Best Music Videos

• "One Mississippi" (2021)

  This music video is quite dramatic and features actor Ross Butler. The video tells the story of a lovestruck pair, with Brown appearing against theatrical staging in a rural setting. Kane told us, “This song is about a relationship. Everybody’s had [a situation] where you make up, and you break up, and you just keep running into each other, and then something about that spark in the relationship gets y’all back together and may fall apart again, but he tried it twice at least.”

• "Worship You" (2020)

  The music video was filmed in the Jackson Hole, Wyoming, mountain forests and starred Brown’s wife, Katelyn, and their young daughter, Kingsley. Kane told us of the song, “‘Worship You’ is basically ‘Heaven’ 2.0; it’s saying that your girl, your wife, is your everything. You know that she doesn’t walk on water or anything like that, but you basically praise her. Originally, it was thinking about Kate, you know, but then I did this video that I put on my Instagram; it was me, Kate, and Kingsley, and I was singing it to Kingsley.”

  He added, “It’s basically just worshiping my family now; they’re both my girls, and I’d do anything for them. Worship the ground they walk on. I feel like it’s going to be a wedding song.”

• "Like I Love Country Music" (2022)

  Kane told us of this number one song, “I wrote this song in 2019. I remember it was a little writer’s retreat thing on the road. So we had two different songs going, one in the back of the bus and one in the front of the bus. And I was in the back. And as I came up front, they, the writers, had this great idea. And they already had some of the first verse, and I just remember thinking, this could be a smash.” The video was filmed at The Nashville Palace dancehall and honky tonk.

• "Worldwide Beautiful" (2020)

  Brown told us of the epic video at the time it was released, “I think it’s the biggest music video that we’ve done. This was one that I didn’t really get to see the treatment for. We did it in Mount Pleasant, which is 45 minutes to an hour away from Nashville, going toward Alabama, and it was awesome. But when I got there and saw that those cops had everyone pulled over, I thought that someone had really wrecked. Like, I didn’t know that that was the set. It looked like the town was literally abandoned.”

• "Thank God" (2022)

  This song was the first number-one song by a husband and wife (Kane and Katelyn Brown) since Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s “It’s Your Love” in 1997. The music video was shot in Hawaii. The video won the 2023 CMT Video of the Year honor at the April award show. The popular video has over 55 million views on YouTube.
