"I Can Feel It" is the lead single from the Tennessee native's upcoming fourth studio album. In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, he teased a collaboration with Jelly Roll that's in the works.

"I have a song with Jelly Roll, so that's really cool," Brown told the outlet.

"It’s talking about depression and, you know, you could have everything in the world, but as long as you don’t talk to someone about it, you’re still gonna go through those things," explained the "Thank God" musician, describing the song as "very powerful."

"I’m blessed to have Jelly on it because he goes through the same thing," Brown continued, before opening up about feeling as though entertainers aren't always seen as real humans who experience mental health struggles.

"Nobody's perfect," he told ET. "I feel like a lot of people that are superstars, everybody looks at them like they're perfect, but everybody goes through something."

Brown previously sang about his experience with depression on the song "Memory" with blackbear, telling PEOPLE in December 2021, "That was my way of saying 'I go through it as well. You're not alone in the world.'"

In a September 2022 interview with PEOPLE, Brown explained: "During quarantine when COVID and all that happened, I was in a very dark place. I go through depression and my wife [Katelyn] goes through anxiety, so we're perfect for each other."
