Tim McGraw has announced his new album Standing Room Only is set for release on Aug. 25 via Big Machine Records. He’s giving fans a taste of the new project with the new song “Hey Whiskey,” out now.

Standing Room Only features 13 brand new tracks and was produced by McGraw and longtime producer Byron Gallimore. Among the writers contributing to the new album are Craig Wiseman, Jaren Johnston, Lori McKenna, Chase McGill and Kameron Marlowe.

The new album, his 17th studio project, marks McGraw’s first new record since 2020’s Here On Earth, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart. In tandem with the pre-save going live today, fans can purchase a collectors bundle with their vinyl or CD, featuring a new t-shirt, collectible trading card and poster.

“As an artist, I always want to dig deeper and get better every time I make a new record – it’s a big part of what drives me, and I really believe this is one of the best projects we’ve made. I’ve been working on this album since 2020, and this collection of songs are some of the most emotional, thought-provoking, and life-affirming music I’ve ever recorded,” McGraw shares. “I’m excited to have ‘Hey Whiskey’ out so fans can start hearing more of what we’re working on – and maybe even more before August…”

Today’s release of “Hey Whiskey” and its lyric video follows the album’s first single/title track “Standing Room Only,” which was released in March and is climbing through the Top 20 on the charts. “Standing Room Only” marks McGraw’s 92nd entrance into Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart. Throughout his career, McGraw has amassed 68 Top 10s and holds the Mediabase record for the most weeks at No. 1 with all titles, totaling 73 weeks, and also holds the record for second-most No. 1 albums in the U.S. just behind George Strait.
