| (July 1, 2026) – Bryan Adams marks Canada Day with the release of ‘51st State’, a powerful new rock anthem celebrating Canadian pride and identity. Driven by Adams’ signature blend of memorable melodies and heartfelt songwriting, ‘51st State’ is a tribute to the people, communities, and values that have shaped his home country. Released on July 1st, the song reflects a deep appreciation for Canada’s identity and the connections that unite Canadians across regions, cultures, and generations. “I wanted to write something about Canada because Canada is home,” says Adams. “There is more that binds us than divides us. This is a tribute to the pride and spirit of my fellow Canadians – the rest is just noise.” A tongue in cheek response to the ridiculous narrative around Canada being better off becoming anything other than Canadian, the message of ‘51st State’ is ultimately one of unity and optimism, rooted in Adams’ own connection to home. For more than four decades, Adams has served as one of Canada’s most recognisable musical voices on the world stage. With ‘51st State’, he continues that tradition, delivering a song that celebrates Canada’s character, confidence, and enduring sense of community. ‘51st State’ is both a celebration and an invitation – to reflect on what connects Canadians and to take pride in the country they continue to build together. The single is now available on all major streaming platforms. About Bryan Adams
