Zach Bryan Ignites Controversy with Political New Song
Country music sensation Zach Bryan has stunned fans by posting a raw, scorcher of a new song snippet titled “the fading of the red white and blue.” The track, shared over the weekend, takes a sharp political aim, featuring provocative lyrics that critique the current state of America and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
“I’ve Got Some Bad News”
In the fiery acoustic clip, Bryan doesn’t hold back. The song opens with a dire warning: “ICE is gonna come bust down your door,” painting a grim picture of children left “all scared and all alone.” He continues his critique by describing police officers as “cocky motherfuckers, ain’t they?” The track’s core message is captured in the haunting line, “I’ve got some bad news/ The fading of the red, white, and blue.”
A History of Political Commentary
This move is particularly noteworthy given Bryan’s past statements on politics. Last year, he posted and then deleted a comment suggesting that people who heavily involve politics in their lives “don’t have anything more interesting to do or say.” However, he has also stepped into the political arena before, notably in 2023 when he publicly defended transgender rights during a disagreement with fellow country artist Travis Tritt, stating that “insulting transgender people is completely wrong.”
This new song marks his most direct political statement to date, arriving at a time when his platform has never been bigger. Just last month, Bryan set a US record for the largest single-ticketed concert, performing for over 112,000 people in Michigan. The raw honesty of the song, combined with his massive following, ensures this is a track you can’t afford to ignore.
