"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 2024 extended play Complicated.[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]

Background and release

Ross released "Single Again" along with the song "Truck Girl" in January 2024.[8] 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'."[9] The song was serviced to American country radio in February 2024, and was later serviced to Canadian country radio in the summer of 2024.[10][11] Ross's debut U.S. headlining tour in the late summer and fall of 2024 was named the "Single Again Tour" after the song.[12]

Live performance

In March 2024, he performed parts of "Single Again" and "Trouble" at the 2024 Juno Awards in Halifax, Nova Scotia, which was aired live on CBC.[13]

Music videos

Ross released two videos for the song. The official tour performance video for "Single Again", directed by Korey Schaefer, premiered on YouTube on March 29, 2024.[14] The official music video, directed by Jack Owens, was released on October 30, 2024.[15]
