Chris Young and Kane Brown's duet called "Famous Friends" started out with a simple text between the two friends.

Chris told us, "I sent it to Kane (Brown), just over text message, and he said he wanted to be part of it. And, it really has just taken a life all its own. It’s so cool seeing people respond to this one."

Young adds, "'Famous Friends' was one of those songs that we started on the bus and we were just hoping to write something cool and different. And, kind of give it that new spin on a small town, or just your hometown song, and the people that you grew up with. That whole idea kind of morphed into this song."

Chris posted about the new single recently, "Number one most added!!! “Famous Friends” here we go. A HUGE thank you to all of my friends at country radio for so much love on this one @kanebrown_music."
