'What Ifs'

The pair have been friends since childhood, and were praised for the popular collab, which won a number of awards, including Collaborative Video of the Year at the CMT Music Awards and Most Jaw-Dropping Performance of 2018 at the Taste of Country Fan Choice Awards.

The catchy lyrics include: 'What if I was made for you / And you were made for me / What if this is it / What if it's meant to be / What if I ain't one of them / Fools just Playin' some game / What if I just pulled you close / What if I leaned in / And the stars line up / And it's our last first kiss / What if one of these days baby I'd go and change your name / What if I loved all these what ifs away.'

'Lose It'

'Lose It' made Number 1 in the Hot Country Songs chart in 2018 — and won Male Video of the Year at the CMT Music Awards in 2019. It was the lead single from his third album 'Experiment'.

The catchy country song is about having fun, and includes the lyrics: 'Cause when you do that thing right there / Flippin' your hair, baby, I swear / I don't think you know what you're doin' to me / You got my heart skip-skippin' a beat tonight / You're not close enough, so there's space between / You and me, let's lose it.'

'One Thing Right'

The first of two collaborations with American DJ Marshmello, 'One Thing Right' is a love song about a guy who is always making bad decisions.

Kane sings: 'I've been at the wrong place at the wrong time / Chasing all the wrong things most of my life / Been every kind of lost that you can't find / But I got one thing right / Been the kind of guy girls' mommas don't like / Running with the wrong crowd on the wrong nights / 'Cause I've been wrong about a million times / But I got one thing right, you.'

Collaborations with Marshmello

After collaborating together in 2019 on hit single 'One Thing Right' Kane Brown and Marshmello kept in touch and decided to work on a part two five years later. 'Miles On It' was released in May 2024 and has already gone Platinum in the US and Silver in the UK.
