Make a Playlist With These Best New Country Songs of 2024 (2024)

There's nothing like a classic country song to help set your mood right! Not that it's a competition, but it's one of the best genres out there. Country music has went on to produce legends over time, like Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson. Though, it has also welcomed some popular newcomers, like Michael Marcagi, with open arms. With music in general consistently evolving, country fans have to be on their A-game if they want to keep up with the best new tracks. To help out a little, there's an entire list of freshly curated new country songs waiting for you below.

It looks like 2024 is off to a great start, because the array of choices on this list will have you humming along! We've got your trending country gals Lainey Wilson and Kacey Musgraves with some hot tracks ready for a listen. One is literally about country music in general, while the other is about building confidence in those awkward years of life. Of course, there are plenty of country love songs on this list, like "Holy Smokes" by Bailey Zimmerman and "What She Sees in Me" by Chris Young. There are even a few sad country songs sprinkled in here for those who are due for a good cry session. (Hey, they're needed every once in a while!) Go ahead and scroll through, and you'll be up to date with your country music knowledge!

In country music's defense, its fans have always thought it was cool. But Lainey Wilson has a point here, everybody does want to be a cowboy these days! (But that's probably a good thing, right?)

Breakups are never fun, and no one needs to tell Chase Matthew that. He sings a sort of snarky tune about his ex-lover, and questions how she was able to move on so fast. Hopefully you can't relate, but if so, you'll want to have this one on max volume.

Kacey Musgraves is always delivering her fans a solid hit with each album release. "Deeper Well" is essentially an ode to those who are still in the process of figuring life out. Lessons will be learned, and Kacey reminds everyone that it's okay!

Cody Jinks is coming full circle with this song as he reminisces on how much he has grown as a man and a performer. He was once just a simple guy with a guitar, but now he's a headliner at major festivals. That's certainly something to celebrate!

Find yourself missing someone at the moment? Keith Urban is here to save you as long as you find peace in somber lyrics, like: "When I get blue, I get dark blue." Hey, sometimes you just need to let out those blues to move on!

Beyoncé has re-entered the country scene, everyone! Put your finest boots and cowboy hats on, because you'll heading straight to the dance floor every time this new Texas anthem comes on.

If there's one thing that Gabby Barrett is going to do, it's create one catchy melody! She does just that with "Glory Days"—and you'll enjoy every minute of it while belting out the lyrics to this love song.

You may not know how to play the fiddle (kudos to those who do!), but you'll want to learn how after hearing this Kane Brown hit. Your shoulders will move at the mere thought of the music the funky strings let out.

"But if you're lookin' for a heart to break, then get here in a straight line and break mine." Uh, you okay Brothers Osborne? It sounds like you have a serious case of the love bug. 😂

Listen up: You may have to leave some bad eggs behind every now and then, and that's alright. Megan Moroney reminds you to keep your head up high—especially when they try to sneak their way back into your life!

Ah, to be young and in love! This ditty is all about a guy's sweet memories with his first love at 17-years-old, and it honestly sounds like it came straight out of a movie.

There's no kind of love like a cowboy kind of love! The Castellows know all about that, which is probably why they dedicated an entire song to it.

Money can buy a lot of things, but memories don't come with a price tag. Cody Johnson loves the ranch life, and no amount of money can take that away from him.

Every set of BFFs need a song dedicated to their friendship! This one not only does the job, but will bring tears to your eyes as the sentimental words remind you of what you and your ride-or-die have been through.

Even just the thought of having to leave the love of your life is heartbreaking. Though, Dylan Scott uses this song to let his lover know if there ever came a day where they were separated, no one else would love her like he does.

If you were looking for your next "keep on keeping on" hymn, this is it. Throw this one on when life is giving you some high hurdles to jump over.

Friends-to-lovers is one of the best tropes in every category, including song-writing! Anyone whose love story started similarly will smile while listening to these compelling lyrics.

"Mama put a Bible in my hands and daddy put my hands in the dirt." We know a country classic when we hear one... and this song sounds like it meets the criteria.

If someone told you to kiss their boots, you should probably consider it a deep insult. Good thing Brian Kelley makes a sarcastic phrase sound so inviting with his country twang!

Michael Marcagi may be scared to start, but we want more! The singer is a bit new to the game, but with hits like this one, it's clear that he will be here for a while.
