MULTI-PLATINUM CHART-TOPPER NATE SMITH RELEASES FIERY NEW HEARTBREAK ANTHEM “FIND ME IN A BAR”

FANS CAN CATCH “NATE IRL” IN A SERIES OF SURPRISE BAR POP-UPS

NASHVILLE, TENN. (July 17, 2026) — Today, MULTI-PLATINUM chart-topper Nate Smith returns with his explosive new song “Find Me In A Bar.” Accompanied by an official visualizer, the hard-hitting anthem documents a post-breakup haze of whiskey and regret. Go here to listen to “Find Me In A Bar” now and watch the visualizer here.Written by Smith, Mårten Fohlin, Zack Hall, and Jenson Vaughan, “Find Me In A Bar” marks another standout in Smith’s catalog of arena-ready heartbreak songs. With its riff-heavy collision of reckless energy and brutal self-awareness, the brooding but fiery track finds its narrator trapped in a self-destructive loop as he tries to numb his pain. Thanks to the sheer force of Smith’s voice, “Find Me In A Bar” unleashes a powerful catharsis even as he details the raw frustration of failing to move on.Produced by Joël Bruyère and Mårten Fohlin, “Find Me In A Bar” is an instant jolt of pure momentum, setting off an emotional firestorm in just under two and a half minutes. In a perfect match for the track’s shadowy textures and fiercely stomping beats, Smith’s vocals lock into an unstoppable flow as he delivers one devastating line after another (the opening lyrics: “Bittersweet and sour / Day after day and hour after hour / I’ll be six feet deep in a bottle of rye / Wonderin’ if you’re lookin’ into brand new eyes”). Anchored by an onslaught of moody acoustic guitar work (courtesy of Charlie Worsham, a sought-after session player who’s also worked with Eric Church, Dierks Bentley, and more), “Find Me In A Bar” ultimately puts a deeply human and introspective twist on the traditional Country drinking song.To celebrate the arrival of “Find Me In A Bar,” Smith is bringing fans directly into the action, calling on them to share videos capturing their craziest nights out. For a chance to appear on his Reels, fans can submit videos here. In addition, he’s taking the song beyond the screen with “Nate IRL” — a series of surprise pop-ups that will find Smith showing up in bars and bringing the anything-can-happen spirit of “Find Me In A Bar” to life.Smith’s first new music since “After Midnight” (a collaboration with DIAMOND-certified superstar Tyler Hubbard), “Find Me In A Bar” leans further into the blistering honesty of his PLATINUM-certified smash hits “Whiskey On You” and “World on Fire” and landmark songs like “Fix What You Didn’t Break” — his fourth consecutive No. 1 on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart, featured on his 2024 sophomore studio album California Gold.Tomorrow (7/18), Smith will take the stage at Country Thunder Wisconsin in Twin Lakes, WI, joining an all-star roster including Gavin Adcock, Riley Green, Keith Urban, The Red Clay Strays, and many more. Fresh off his LONG LIVE COUNTRY ROCK & ROLL TOUR — a major North American headline run that wrapped up last month with a two-night takeover at Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium — he’s also gearing up for can’t-miss summer festivals and fairs like Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose, Alberta, Canada (July 30), WE Fest 2026 in Detroit Lakes, MN (August 8), and the Oregon State Fair in Salem, OR (August 28). Go here for Smith’s full tour itinerary.
