Kelsea Ballerini Releases New Song “Cowboys Cry Too” with Noah Kahan
American country music pop singer-songwriter Kelsea Ballerini teamed up with American singer-songwriter Noah Kahan to release a new song “Cowboys Cry Too” on June 28, 2024.
This marks Kelsea Ballerini and Noah Kahan recorded the collaborative song for the first time.
But both performed “Stick Season” and “Mountain With a View” together at the 59th Academy of Country Music Awards last month.
Kelsea Ballerini wrote his part while on tour and reached out to Noah Kahan into DMs to record the song before the ACMs.
The track was written by Alysa Vanderheym, Kelsea Ballerini, Noah Kahan and Noah Kahan. Produced by Kelsea Ballerini and Alysa Vanderheym.
“In our world and culture and echo chamber of highlight reels and pretty things, sometimes real feelings start to feel like something you just set aside or push down to keep up,” Kelsea Ballerini said of the song in a statement. “Especially the way so many men grow up, that kind of toxic masculinity mindset of 'saddle up, brush it off'. I wanted to write my perspective and essentially celebrate the vulnerable men in my life, and Noah adding his really unfiltered perspective into it just brought it to life in a more meaningful and beautiful way.”- Noah Kahan added, “It's the writers who are willing to go to the awkward places that inspire me. Kelsea is one of those, and I knew if we could find something we both believed to sing, it would expand how we look at the way we live, what society decides and we should reject. 'Cowboys Cry Too' is everything I believed our collaboration could be.”
