NASHVILLE, TN. – Acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Wyatt Flores’ highly anticipated sophomore project, Scared of Heights, is out today via Island Records/MCA; listen/share HERE.

Produced by Charlie Handsome (Post Malone, Morgan Wallen), Jacob “JKash” Hindlin (Dua Lipa) and Gian Stone, Scared of Heights marks a new chapter for Flores, pairing early 2000s pop and rock with the vulnerable songwriting that has established him as “one of the genre’s most conspicuous new voices” (Billboard). Throughout the record, Flores offers an unfiltered look at his life over the past few years, reflecting on what it means to face darkness head-on in order to find moments of peace. 

“I finally feel like I know who I’m supposed to be, right here in this moment,” Flores shares. “I’m not second-guessing myself anymore on what the music’s supposed to be, what I’m supposed to be chasing, or who I’ve become. This is who I am now in 2026. Still figuring out my struggles and mental health but finally getting the confidence to step back into this and to believe in myself again.” 

Prior to the release, Flores joined forces with Carter Faith for “Nothin’ Better To Do”, which led All Country News to declare, “the collaboration further cements his place among country music’s most exciting young voices,” as well as Charles Wesley Godwin on “Hey There Son” and Diplo for “Saving This Bottle”.
