“One of the things I respect above all else is authenticity and honesty in music, and Cam is the epitome of that” says McNown. “When I started thinking about a feature on that song, I knew there was no better person than Cam to join me. He gave it so much energy and his voice is so distinct, and now the song has a whole new life to it.”
Cameron Whitcomb adds, “When Max first pitched the song to me, I barely got halfway through the first verse and called him back immediately. I think this song is honest and special, and I’m honored to sing alongside an incredible artist and human being on such an amazing record.”
In celebration of the new music, McNown is continuing on the road hitting Lollapalooza, The Grand Ole Opry, and recently announced his massive North American headline Forever Ain’t Long Enough tour, before returning overseas to perform across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, France and the Netherlands in December.

ABOUT MAX MCNOWN:
At 23, McNown has already been on a storied musical journey. Taking control of his future, overcoming personal challenges, and drawing inspiration from his brother who was bravely fighting cancer, he packed his bags and drove from remote Oregon to Southern California. From there, videos of him busking on a pier made an impact online and eventually grew into a legion of supporters on TikTok (currently has 2.4M followers). After attracting interest from major TV talent shows, McNown auditioned for one and then decided it wasn’t for him and gracefully turned them down as he knew he needed to walk his own path.
Within just a year of teaching himself to play guitar, the Nashville-based artist set off on a meteoric rise largely fueled by his breakout single ‘A Lot More Free’, the RIAA Gold-certified track whose explosive success earned him a #1 spot on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart and has currently been flying up the radio charts. Currently, the track is Top 10 at Hot AC and Top 20 at Top 40.
Following the release of his widely lauded debut album Wandering, the Willfully Blind EP, and his acclaimed sophomore album Night Diving, the Oregon native continued his fast ascent to stardom appearing on The Kelly Clarkson Show (watch here) and TODAY (watch here) and selling out his first-ever headline tour within just hours.
Recently, McNown also made his debut on the Billboard Hot 100 with his song ‘Better Me For You (Brown Eyes)’. The song, which has continued to fly up the charts, has now amassed over 130 million global streams and has been a mainstay at Country radio, currently #39 on Top 40 Country. McNown was also named a 2025 Artist To Watch by Amazon Music, Holler, and Country Now, and has performed at C2C Festival, CMA Fest, and other large festivals.
