Kane Brown’s “Homesick”: A Love Song Turned Tribute
Kane Brown’s heartfelt single “Homesick” beautifully captures the ache of being separated from loved ones. Co-written with Brock Berryhill, Matt McGinn, and Taylor Phillips, the song appears on Brown’s second studio album, Experiment, and blends his signature country-pop sound with raw emotion.
Brown originally wrote the track while on tour, missing his wife, Katelyn. In the chorus, he admits that being apart feels like “half of him is missing,” a line that resonated deeply with fans.
However, “Homesick” soon took on a greater meaning. Brown realized the song also spoke to soldiers, veterans, and military families who endure long periods apart. Wanting to honor them, he dedicated the song to the military community — a powerful gesture in a time when patriotic country tributes have become rare.
The music video, featuring real footage of soldiers reuniting with loved ones, turned “Homesick” into more than just a love song — it became a moving salute to sacrifice, family, and the longing to come home.
