Riley Green Teases New Song After Achieving First Solo No. 1 Hit

Riley Green has achieved a significant milestone in his music career with the release of his single “Worst Way,” which has topped the Billboard Country Airplay chart, marking his first solo No. 1 hit. The emotional ballad, produced by Dann Huff, combines elements of traditional country music with contemporary trends in the genre.

Speaking to Billboard, Green shared insight into the inspiration behind “Worst Way,” revealing that he wrote the song while on the road. He aimed to create a piece akin to John Mayer’s “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” or Eric Church’s “Like a Wrecking Ball,” blending traditional country sounds with a modern edge. With the collaboration of producer Dann Huff, Green successfully crafted a smooth and reflective track that maintains its raw country essence.

Following the success of “Worst Way” on the Billboard charts, Green has teased a new song titled “My Way.” In a social media video released in early December, he performed the unreleased track on acoustic guitar, delving into themes of heartbreak, nostalgia, and regret. The poignant lyrics express a yearning to undo a past breakup, find emotional healing, and reconcile with a former partner to embark on a shared journey of life together.

Fans have reacted positively to the stripped-down rendition of “My Way,” expressing anticipation for the studio version to capture the same emotional depth present in Green’s previous releases like “Ain’t My Last Rodeo” and “Don’t Mind If I Do.” As Green continues his Damn Country Music Tour, scheduled through November 2025 with stops in the US, Canada, and the UK, he has also announced headline shows in Las Vegas this December, further solidifying his rising prominence in the music scene.

With the impending release of “My Way,” audiences eagerly await Green’s ability to seamlessly merge contemporary storytelling with the timeless essence of traditional country music, showcasing his distinctive artistry and connecting with listeners on a profound level. The buzz surrounding Green continues to grow as he captivates audiences with his authentic and heartfelt approach to songwriting and performance.
