{"product_id":"dan_shay-young","title":"Young","description":"\u003cp\u003eDan + Shay’s Young was released August 21, 2026, through Warner Records Nashville. Co-produced by Dan Smyers and longtime collaborator Scott Hendricks, its ten tracks run approximately 32 minutes, pairing the duo’s close harmonies and expansive pop-country choruses with a more reflective focus on marriage, family, faith, and mortality. Its central theme is perspective: growing older brings deeper attachments, but also a sharper awareness of what can be lost. Smyers and Shay Mooney co-wrote every song together, retaining their polished melodic approach while grounding the material in adult responsibilities and personal experience. Piano, strings, acoustic textures, and touches of steel guitar support performances that generally favor warmth over instrumental showmanship. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening title track urges listeners not to take time for granted, while “Say So” turns grief into an appeal to check in on the people they love. “Marry You Again” revisits the beginning of a relationship with the certainty of hindsight, and “Forever Like This” tries to preserve the feeling of a perfect moment. “Her, the Kids, and Jesus” and “Bible in the Truck” make faith an explicit part of the record’s domestic world, while “Dogs in Our Twenties,” co-written with Lori McKenna, Liz Rose, and Hillary Lindsey, approaches early adulthood through the pets that accompanied its upheavals. Cody Johnson joins “The Old Guys,” which imagines life after losing a spouse, before “The Price of Love” closes with a lyrical return to “Young.” The strongest moments give the familiar romantic formula greater emotional specificity, although the consistently polished arrangements can soften the distinctions between individual songs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album","offer_id":67925216133434,"sku":"41439","price":41.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD \/ Album","offer_id":67989138047290,"sku":"41438","price":13.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-11-13_at_2.03.25_PM.jpg?v=1794646878","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/dan_shay-young","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
