Getting Brown to sing on "Famous Friends" was no hard task for Young, according to CMT. "I'd done stuff with Kane before — I'd guested on his projects, we'd written together, we've toured together — so I showed him this song and said, 'What do you think?' He was like, 'I'd love to be part of that.' And Kane just sings his butt off on it."
While Young had written the lyrics about his hometown, once he got Brown on board, the lyrics changed to reflect both of them. "I was like, 'Dude, you know what would be really cool, would be if I do Rutherford County, which is where I grew up, and you put the name of your county in [the chorus that follows your verse], and then we put Davidson at the end, because that's Nashville, and that's where we are now,'" Young said in an interview with Taste of Country.
The duo will be performing "Famous Friends" live at the ACM Awards on April 18.
