"Single Again" is a song co-written and recorded by Canadian country artist Josh Ross.[2] He co-wrote the track with Joe Fox and Brad Rempel of High Valley, while Matt Geroux produced it.[3] The song is the second single to radio from Ross's upcoming debut album Later Tonight.[4][5] It reached number one on the Mediabase Canada Country chart,[6] and became his first top ten single on the Billboard Country Airplay.[7] In 2025, the song reached number one on the Mediabase Country chart in the U.S. after 71 weeks, making Ross the third Canadian male solo artist to ever top that chart, and the first since Paul Brandt ("I Do") in 1996.[8][9]

Background and release

[edit]

Ross released "Single Again" along with the song "Truck Girl" in January 2024.[10] He stated that the song "leans into how timing can sometimes be everything." Ross said he was inspired by a time when "I ran into my high school crush at a bar and wanted to buy her a drink. She let me know she had a boyfriend and I remember saying 'well let me know if you're ever single again'."[11] The song was serviced to American country radio in February 2024, and was later serviced to Canadian country radio in the summer of 2024.[12][13] Ross's debut U.S. headlining tour in the late summer and fall of 2024 was named the "Single Again Tour" after the song.[14]
