Chris Young is feeling complete on his new album, 'I Didn't Come Here To Leave,' featuring honesty, ambition, and 14 tracks of meaningful music for him and his family.

"I think this record, everybody always says, 'oh, this is the favorite record I've made.' because they're trying to push it," Chris tells Katie Neal during the 'Superstar Power Hour.' "But for me, with this record specifically, I really do think we made something that, as a whole project, is really, really special."

"There are meaningful songs on here. There's meaningful songs to me. There's meaningful songs about my family members that are on here. It's very open, very straightforward, very honest as a project. A lot of people say, 'art's never finished, it's abandoned.' I feel like this project was completed."

"It feels amazing that it's done, but also that people are going to get to hear these songs," he adds. "Honestly, I wasn't going to do anything at the beginning of this year... but I just dove headfirst into this project, and I'm really proud of what we created."

While in our Nashville studio, Chris also looked back on his career, having just celebrated 19 years since his debut album. "What do you think that Chris in 2006 would be most proud of Chris, in 2026?" asks Katie.

"Well, in 2006, I'm pretty sure I over drafted on Taco Bell twice," he says. "Just to have money in the bank. That would be a big part of it, but more specifically, just that I know there's songs that people have used in their weddings."

"'Til The Last One Dies,' being the new single, I already know people that have used that song," he reveals. "That's such a cool thing to me because that's a life moment, and someone is going to remember that for the rest of their lives together."
