Chris Young Reveals New Album Track List, Announces Holiday Tour

August 4, 2025/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Chris Young

Chris Young has revealed the full track list for his new Black River Entertainment project I Didn’t Come Here To Leave, due out Oct. 17.

Young first teased this new chapter and I Didn’t Come Here To Leave with the lead single “Til The Last One Dies,” which is currently rising on the country and streaming charts, while the title track from the album is out now. The record was produced by Young and Andy Sheridan.

“On a record, a lot gets made of how many tempos and how many ballads, as opposed to just making a record from top to bottom that you’ve fallen in love with – but that’s all I’ve ever tried to do,” Young explains. “I look at this album and there are songs that make you want to buy a beer, and there’s songs that if you broke up with somebody, you’re going to want to cry. For different reasons, I feel like this is a complete album – and it would be a disservice to Black River if I didn’t turn in something I believed in this way.”

Chris Young’s I Didn’t Come Here To Leave Track List:
1. “Some Around Here” (Chris Young/Chris DeStefano/Jason Duke/Josh Hoge)

7. “Pour Some Whiskey On It” (Chris Young/Jessie Jo Dillon/Steven Lee Olsen/Jimmy Robbins)
8. “Boots On The Ground” (Chris Young/Chris DeStefano/Jason Duke/Josh Hoge)
