Kane Brown Could Break His Album Cycle If ‘2 Pair’ Takes Off

Kane Brown typically takes two to three years between albums to write and ensure the project is ready to share with fans. However, if his latest release, “2 Pair” takes off the way he’s hoping, he says that timeline could shift.

He released his fourth studio album, The High Road, at the top of the year. By his usual pace, that would normally mean that fans shouldn’t expect another full-length project until 2027 or 2028. But in a recent interview with Audacy’s Katie Neal, Brown shared that “2 Pair” has his full attention right now, and it’s already pulling him back into writing mode for a project that would potentially come sooner than expected.

“So this is the song that I’m focused on. But I have writers coming down to Florida actually this week,” he revealed at the time. “It wasn’t going to be a project, but if this song “2 Pair” takes off, then there might be a EP or a quick nine-song album or something coming out.”

He goes on to say that this summertime anthem has him the most excited he’s been about a song in a while. Not only has it encouraged him to get back into writing sessions, but the country star admits he’s also fired up about getting back on his “social media grind.”

“You’re going to see me everywhere,” Brown admitted.

Produced by Jordan Schmidt and penned alongside co-writers Andrew Haas, Gabe Foust, Ian Franzino, Jacob Hackworth and Jaxson Free, the country, pop, and R&B blended track perfectly sets the tone for the care-free nature of the warm season.

Brown explained that this song is intended to be his countrified version of Nelly’s early 2000s track, “Air Force Ones.” The lyrics pay tribute to Brown’s appreciation for the classic country style as he emphasizes the importance of having good pair of leather boots for any occasion.

“Give me two pairs of Luccheses/ All-white shirt and some bootcut jeans/ I’ll go all night, stomping to the beat/ I just got a check, blew it all on my feet like/ Ooh, ooh/ Ain’t s**t you can tell me, I feel like Nelly/ Give me two pairs of Lucchese’s/ All-white shirt and some bootcut jeans, yeah,” he sings.

Continuing to share his pride for the track, Brown added, “It’s really just a fun stomping song, like the country version of Nelly’s ‘Air Force Ones.’”

The multi-platinum selling act revealed that there was a lot of work that went being the scenes in order to make “2 Pair” perfect.

“At first, I wanted to release it and then we got feedback of, ‘I want to hear it grow’ and we were trying to do it so fast and make it look like we’re just putting this out, we’re not really putting a lot of effort behind it,” he explained.

Thanks to producer Jordan Schmidt, they eventually landed on a sound that finally made Brown feel like their work was complete and ready to share with the world.

“The chorus is just, it’s going to carry the summer. The song just keeps growing. I love the verses more. Everything about it, I just love 10 times more.” 

Kane Brown is keeping plenty on his plate this year. In addition to getting back to work with his songwriting duties, he’s hitting the road for a run of solo shows and major festival appearances this summer. Then, he’ll head overseas for the second leg of The High Road Tour across Europe and the UK.

On top of the tour, he’s also gearing up for his feature film debut in The Token Groomsman. And if “2 Pair” keeps building momentum the way he hopes, fans might be seeing even more from Kane Brown in the near future.
