DREW BALDRIDGE HIGHLIGHTS THE HEART OF “REBEL” WITH NEW ACOUSTIC VERSION

Country star Drew Baldridge releases an acoustic version of his current radio hit “Rebel” via Lyric Ridge Records/Stoney Creek Records. Fans can get it HERE

Written by Baldridge and Adam Sanders and produced by Zach Crowell and Nick Schwarz, “Rebel” delivers a powerful message about flipping the traditional idea of rebellion on its head. The song serves as an anthem for standing firm in your convictions, celebrating integrity, faith, and family as the ultimate acts of defiance. With its soaring chorus and driving production, “Rebel” captures the strength it takes to stay true to yourself in a world that often rewards compromise.

“I wrote this song after noticing how often the wrong things get glorified,” said Baldridge. “Doing the right thing can feel rebellious, and I hope fans - and one day my sons - see that being a rebel here is actually a good thing. The song celebrates doing the right thing even when it’s not the ‘cool’ or easy choice.”

Baldridge recently released an acoustic performance video for the track, filmed at Ocean Way Studios in Nashville. The stripped-down rendition highlights the heart and emotion behind the song. Watch Below

He will bring his FARM FAITH FAMILY Tour + additional support dates across the country through the end of the year, where fans can catch him performing “Rebel” live. For tour dates and more information, visit DrewBaldridgeMusic.com

About Drew Baldridge: 
Baldridge continues to deliver exactly what fans have been asking for: a steady stream of new music rooted in his signature themes of farm, faith, and family. His new release, “Love Needs You,” arrives as a heartfelt summer anthem, ushering in his next chapter. It follows “Deserve Her” and “Get Me Gone” featuring Emily Ann Roberts via Lyric Ridge Records/BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. His current single, “Rebel,” continues to climb the charts following “Tough People,” which became his second consecutive Top 10 hit at country radio.

This new chapter builds on the massive success of Baldridge’s RIAA Platinum-certified breakout “She’s Somebody’s Daughter,” which reached No. 1 on Country Aircheck/Mediabase and No. 3 on Billboard Country Airplay, making him the only self-funded artist to score a No. 1 debut on Mediabase and the highest-charting independent artist in Billboard Country Airplay history. With more than 2 billion streams and impressions to date, the song also earned a spot on NSAI’s “10 Songs I Wish I Would Have Written.”

This year, Baldridge will headline his FARM FAITH FAMILY Tour, bringing his music directly to fans across the country, while also joining Luke Bryan on tour and continuing to perform internationally following recent runs across Australia, the UK, and Europe.

DREW BALDRIDGE REWRITES THE RULES OF REBELLION WITH NEW SINGLE “REBEL”

Country star Drew Baldridge is redefining what it means to be rebellious with his powerful new single, “Rebel,” available everywhere October 31 and impacting country radio November 3 via Lyric Ridge Records/Stoney Creek Records. Fans can pre-save/add HERE

Written by Baldridge and Adam Sanders, and produced by Zach Crowell and Nick Schwarz, “Rebel” stands as an anthem for holding fast to your convictions. Turning the traditional idea of rebellion on its head, Baldridge challenges what it means to push back, trading chaos for character and celebrating integrity, faith, and family as the ultimate acts of defiance. With its soaring chorus and driving production, “Rebel” channels the strength it takes to stay true in a world that often rewards compromise. 

Anchored by lyrics like “I’m gonna stand my ground / Ain’t gonna back down / Make sure my last name ain’t stained and stands on integrity / I’m gonna stay true to my woman / And true to my roots,” Baldridge delivers a message that’s both timeless and timely; a declaration that these days staying true to your word is the most radical thing of all. The song honors the quiet strength of consistency, loyalty, and setting a good example. It’s about character and doing what’s right even when no one’s watching.

“I wrote this song after noticing how often the wrong things get glorified,” said Baldridge. “Doing the right thing can feel rebellious, and I hope fans - and my son - see that being a rebel here is actually a good thing. The song celebrates doing the right thing even when it’s not the ‘cool’ or easy choice.”

With his signature mix of small-town grit, heart, and honesty, Baldridge continues to forge a genuine connection with fans through songs that champion his core pillars of farm, faith, and family. He’s currently bringing that message to audiences across Australia and New Zealand while opening for Jelly Roll on the Down Under 2025 Tour. After returning to the U.S. for a brief stint, Baldridge will head overseas once again to close out the year with his first-ever UK and European headlining run, the Country Born Tour.
