It’s been a big year so far for Max McNown. The Nashville-based songwriter released his debut album, Wandering, on April 12, and just wrapped up his first-ever tour, where he got to meet and interact with his growing fanbase.

To commemorate the experience, McNown released a new song, “Love Me Back,” to thank his fans for joining the ride so far. A “lost track” crafted immediately after the Wandering sessions, “Love Me Back” tells the story of a man who put his heart on the line — and found himself fortunate to have that love reflected toward him. The rollicking tune feels like a warm welcome home, featuring intricate acoustic guitar work, impactful percussion, and a memorable melody from McNown, whose smoky baritone is rich in depth and soul.

“‘Love Me Back’ was created with AJ Pruis right after I delivered the ‘Wandering’ album, but it didn’t make the cut in time,” McNown said. “It’s a lost extra track, a gift to all those listening. I’m so grateful for the support.”

The official music video highlights from McNown’s U.S. tour, which spanned nearly two months before concluding in San Diego on May 8. While there are some performance clips, most of the video features McNown meeting and embracing his fans after every show, continuing connections that will surely endure for years to come.
