Country star Colt Ford is back in a big way. Following months of anticipation, Ford has officially announced his upcoming album Little Out There, due out November 7, 2025. Alongside the news, he’s dropped a brand-new single, “Country AF,” featuring Jay Webb—a gritty, unapologetic anthem that celebrates southern roots and all the little things that make someone country to the core. Blending Ford’s trademark country-rap fusion with raw honesty, hip-hop energy, and southern grit, “Country AF” offers fans a bold taste of what’s to come on the new project.

Little Out There marks Ford’s first full-length project since his near-death experience back in April 2024. He survived a heart attack that left doctors stunned, calling his recovery nothing short of a miracle. Colt’s comeback story is one of resilience and passion, bringing a new creative approach and breath of fresh air to this new album.

“After everything I’ve been through, this album means more to me than anything I’ve ever done,” shares Ford. “‘Little Out There’ is about living life fully, appreciating second chances, and reconnecting with my fans in a real way. It’s been a hard road, but I’m excited to be here and sharing another album with the world.”

Since first bursting onto the scene with his genre-blending sound, Colt Ford has become a cultural force. With millions of albums sold, relentless touring, and collaborations with country’s biggest names, his impact on the genre is undeniable. His songwriting credits include Jason Aldean’s Grammy-nominated No. 1 hit “Dirt Road Anthem” and Brantley Gilbert’s chart-topper “Country Must Be Country Wide.”

With Little Out There, Ford proves he’s not just back, he’s better than ever.
