Keith Urban has dropped a new track, “Heart Like a Hometown.”

Though the Australia-born country star didn’t write it, he says the song has a storyline that resonates with him and his childhood.

“When I was a kid, our family moved around a lot. By the 5th grade I’d been in four schools and lived in nine different houses. So, a ‘hometown’ felt more about my family, and a place inside of me, somewhere I could find my center,” Keith says in a press statement.

“It’s a theme that’s always spoken to me,” he shares. “Songs like Don Williams‘ ‘If Hollywood Don’t Need You’ and Glen Campbell‘s ‘Country Boy (You Got Your Feet in LA)’ and a song I recorded on my FUSE album, ‘Come Back To Me.’ Those songs and this one all share a similar feeling, a kind of grounded safety, familiarity and a place where I can always find ME.”

“Heart Like a Hometown” is the fifth preview of Keith’s forthcoming 11th album, High, and follows “Straight Line,” “Wildside,” the Lainey Wilson-assisted “Go Home W U” and the current single, “Messed Up as Me,” which is in the top 20 of the country charts.
