Nate Smith Releases New Single "Nobody Likes Your Girlfriend" Featuring HARDY
Nate Smith, the fast-rising country music star from Paradise, California, has released his latest single "Nobody Likes Your Girlfriend" featuring HARDY on February 21, 2025. This collaboration brings together Smith's powerful vocals and HARDY's distinctive country-rock style, creating a dynamic and energetic track.
The song, which Smith describes as a "summer smash," delivers a candid message about friendship and loyalty, set to a catchy country melody. The release was accompanied by a music video directed by Spidey Smith, featuring a comedic performance by actor Kevin James. The video cleverly opens with a public service announcement about dealing with unpopular girlfriends, directing viewers to a website called www.breakupwithher.net
Released through Sony Music Entertainment, this track marks Smith's first offering of the year, following the success of his sophomore album "California Gold." The song authentically captures the delicate situation of addressing a friend's problematic relationship, with both narrators confronting the uncomfortable truth about their friend's girlfriend. Through clever storytelling, the lyrics reveal a unified front of disapproval that extends from close friends to family members.
The musical arrangement of "Nobody Likes Your Girlfriend" masterfully evolves from a subtle opening to a powerful crescendo, perfectly complementing the song's message. HARDY's collaboration brings additional depth and personality to the track, creating a dynamic partnership. Smith expressed his gratitude about working with HARDY, sharing on Instagram “Dude, I am so floored that (HARDY) was willing to”.... “He’s somebody that I look up to."
The accompanying music video, featuring actor Kevin James, has particularly excited Smith, who enthusiastically described it as "absolutely FERAL!!!"
"Nobody Likes Your Girlfriend" follows the release of Smith's sophomore album "California Gold" in October 2024, which included collaborations with artists like Avril Lavigne and Alesso. The album showcased Smith's versatility as an artist, blending country with rock and pop influences.
Smith's rise in country music has been remarkable in recent years. His album "California Gold" achieved Top 15 status on Billboard's Country Album Chart, while "Bulletproof" dominated as a multi-week No. 1 hit. His artistic versatility shines through collaborations with diverse artists like Avril Lavigne and Alesso. Recognition followed with Billboard naming him Country Rookie of the Year for 2024, setting the stage for an even bigger 2025.
Smith's musical journey began in his church youth group, and he cites diverse influences including Garth Brooks, Elvis Presley and Bob Seger, alongside Michael Jackson and Nirvana. This eclectic background contributes to his unique sound, described as a mix of "gritty backwoods soul, rock 'n' roll swagger and velvet-thunder vocals".
Music enthusiasts can experience Smith's performances on his "Through The Smoke World Tour," spanning venues across the United States and Europe. Additionally, he'll join Jason Aldean's "Full Throttle Tour" in summer 2025, further solidifying his position as one of country music's most promising stars.
