Kane Brown and Lauren Alaina Stuns With No. 1 Hit, ‘What Ifs’ on ‘iHeartCountry 4th Of July BBQ’

Kane Brown and Lauren Alaina joined forces virtually to perform their No. 1 single “What Ifs” on Friday (July 3) during the 1-hour iHeartCountry 4th Of July BBQ Special presented by Lowes.

“What Ifs” was co-written by Brown, alongside Matt McGinn and Jordan Schmidt. The song is the third single off Brown’s self-titled debut LP for RCA Records Nashville, which was released in December 2016 and quickly topped the country charts.

The 5x Platinum hit also features his childhood friend, Alaina, who met Brown in Choir class in the seventh grade while living in a small town in Georgia.
