Josh Ross may be a chart-topping artist in Canada, but that hasn’t immediately translated to success in the U.S. market.
Fortunately, his stateside career is now picking up steam thanks to “Single Again,” which is currently in the top 30 and ascending the country charts.
“‘Single Again’ is definitely the one that’s done the most and it’s been cool to watch it grow week after week,” said Josh, who also co-wrote the track.
“I’m just happy it’s a true story. It’s a song that came from a real place and it’s a fun one too,” he shared. “I’ve always been kind of known for the emotional kind of sad songs, so this one feels good.”
“Single Again” is a true example of art imitating life for Josh.
“I had the idea for ‘Single Again’ since 2019-ish time. I had gone to a bar and I saw a girl that I always admired and had a crush on, honestly, and went to buy her drink. She had a boyfriend, so it didn’t work out. But I was feeling good,” Josh recalled. “I had a quick conversation. I just said, ‘Yeah, let me know if you’re ever single again.'”
“That idea stuck with me for a long time and about a year ago we wrote that and put it out,” the 2024 CMA Jeff Walker Global Country Artist Award recipient told ABC Audio in a mid-November interview.
“It’s just cool to see it move,” Josh adds. “And we just finished up the Single Again Tour and watching, you know, from show one four months ago to this past weekend, how much that song has grown on the road has been really cool.”
