Kacey Musgraves Joins Noah Kahan on New Version of His Folk-Pop Hit 'She Calls Me Back'

Noah Kahan has shared another impressive collaboration. 

The rising folk-pop star, 26, released a new version of his fan-favorite song “She Calls Me Back” featuring Kacey Musgraves on Friday. 

The country music star, 35, sings a several new verses and joins the singer-songwriter in harmonies on the lovely updated recording. Toward the end of the song, their charming voices become intertwined, with their twangs meshing seamlessly. 

The addition of Musgrave provides a response to Kahan's lyrical storytelling, which explores how a partner provides the song's narrator with solace. 

The Grammy winner sings: “I'm runnin' out of tears to cry / The calm before they hit my cheeks / Maybe it's the air out here / Or maybe something's changin' me / If you think that you could wake me up / Then you don't know how well I sleep / You love me and I don't know why / I only call you once a week.”

The singer-songwriter shared a statement in a press release expressing his excitement about Musgraves hopping on the track. “Kacey Musgraves is the coolest person ever. Not exaggerating when I say that during the Stick Season album process, we would finish a song and I’d listen back and be like ‘Can you imagine Kacey on this?’”

He continued, “Having her sing on ‘She Calls Me Back’ is incredible, and being able to have her continue telling the story adds a whole new dimension to the song and what it means.

“I’m so grateful and honored, continually humbled that artists of this level have lent their voice to this album,” he shared. “Kacey is cool as hell, brilliantly talented, and represents everything I love about music. She is a true artist, and I can’t thank her enough for being a part of this song.”

“She Calls Me Back” originally appeared on Kahan’s 2022 breakout album Stick Season. 

The new song is among several recent collaborations that the rising star has released, including a new version of his hit “Dial Drunk” with Post Malone. He also joined country music phenom Zach Bryan on a track called “Sarah’s Place” off his Boys of Faith EP.

“She Calls Me Back” comes off the heels of Kahan’s announcement of his first-ever stadium tour. 

After the Americana star wraps up his U.K. and European dates in early 2024, he will embark on the North American leg of the We’ll All Be Here Forever Tour, taking his show to major stadiums and arenas.

He added, "This is something I wanted to do my whole life, and it felt like every musical moment I've ever had has led me to this project. It made me feel inspired and fulfilled."
