American Authors are back with an exciting new single, "Race Car." The band is known for creating catchy songs that tug at your heartstrings and have a sound that's perfect for radio play. This time, they're bringing a fresh energy to their music.
Lead singer Zac Barnett shared that "Race Car" is about experiencing a quick, intense love, even when you know it won't last long. It captures that thrilling spark that comes with a summer romance or a fun adventure. The song is a celebration of those unforgettable moments when you're in love and acting on impulse, even though you know it might not last.
"Race Car" captures your attention with its upbeat, melodic sound that's perfect for late-night drives and open roads. The vibe feels striking, almost like a scene from a movie where two people meet, share a passionate connection, and then go their separate ways. True to their style, the band effectively conveys both hope and truth in the song, reminding us that even brief relationships can leave a lasting impact.
"Race Car" marks an exciting moment in a journey that began nearly two decades ago at Berklee College of Music, where Zac, along with bandmates Dave Rublin on bass and Matt Sanchez on drums, formed a close friendship. Since then, American Authors have achieved great success, with hit songs and world tours alongside famous acts like OneRepublic and The Script. Despite their impressive achievements, the band remains optimistic and views every new project as an opportunity to reach even greater heights.
