Kane Brown is highlighted as an exemplary father with the release of a new song for Father’s Day. At the time of the video, Kane Brown and his wife Katelyn were eagerly anticipating the arrival of their third child, a son, expected “any day now.” Just ahead of this significant family milestone and in celebration of Father’s Day, Kane Brown shared his emotions through his music and in conversation.
Discussing his family, Kane mentioned how his young daughters, Kingsley and Cody, were preparing for their new sibling. He noted, “I don’t need to get the girls ready they’re already very attached to their mom they’re thrilled about having a third sibling and have already prepared the nursery for him.” Kane also spoke about his own preparations for becoming a father to a son, expressing his excitement: “I’m getting ready to be a boy dad and looking forward to coaching a baseball team or something like that I’m excited.” He shared a sweet anecdote about his daughter Kingsley recently getting her first set of golf clubs and them enjoying time on a golf simulator together. He also mentioned his daughters’ current interests in gymnastics, dance, and swimming, which differ from his own past interests in basketball, football, and track, but he finds it “really cool to see them in their activities.”
The centerpiece of the video is Kane Brown’s upcoming song, “Backseat Driver.” He teased the song with a caption intended to resonate deeply with parents, particularly those with daughters or young children in general, hoping the song would have a significant impact on listeners. The lyrics shared from “Backseat Driver” are deeply personal and evocative of common parenting experiences: “One day I’ll look back and I’ll miss when my whole world wasn’t over that Dash it was back there buckled and saying Daddy look there’s a plane in the sky are we there yet did you just see that dog run by do squirrels have houses in the trees why would God put a stinger on a honeybee it’s crazy all the things she sees on the side of the road out of that window beside her I wish I could be more like her my little dangling feet pretty and pink backseat driver.”
Kane Brown’s wife, Katelyn, was clearly moved by the song, commenting on an Instagram post about it: “I have cried to many times listening to this I can hear her voice asking all those questions most beautiful real song.” Other followers also shared their emotional reactions, with one fan writing, “This hits differently when your once backseat driver is now driving.”
In addition to the new song, Kane Brown revealed in a recent interview mentioned in the video that he is working on a new album, with the goal to complete and release it by the end of that year.
