Following through on a promise that had fans on the edge of their seats, Zach Bryan has officially released his highly anticipated single, ‘Blue Jean Baby’. The track’s release was contingent on a Philadelphia Eagles victory, and with his team’s triumph, Bryan delivered to eager listeners worldwide.
Just hours after the Philadelphia Eagles secured their place in the 2025 Super Bowl by defeating the Washington Commanders, the Oklahoma native singer-songwriter stayed true to his word. ‘Blue Jean Baby’, an upbeat and energetic offering, is now available for streaming across all major platforms, much to the delight of fans who had been eagerly awaiting its arrival.
But the surprises didn’t stop there. Zach Bryan took to Instagram to share even more exciting news, giving fans a glimpse into his plans for 2025. In a post celebrating the Eagles’ decisive 55-23 victory, Bryan casually dropped a bombshell announcement: he will be releasing both an EP and a full-length album before the end of 2025.
His initial celebratory message, “BIRDS WIN. OUT AT MIDNIGHT. SEE YALL IN NEW ORLEANS”, was quickly followed by the even more thrilling addition, “EP AND ALBUM BY THE END OF THE YEAR”. This news has sent waves of excitement through the Zach Bryan fanbase, who have come to expect high-quality EPs alongside his album releases. While Bryan notably didn’t release an EP after The Great American Bar Scene, it appears 2025 will more than make up for it with a double dose of new music.

The title of the forthcoming album remains officially under wraps, but recent clues suggest it might be named ‘Motorbreath’. Earlier in January, Bryan shared a teaser featuring acclaimed actor Matthew McConaughey introducing a film project titled Motorbreath, which chronicles the creation of Bryan’s final album under his major label contract. This has led many to believe that ‘Motorbreath’ is indeed the title of the album, especially considering Bryan has been teasing snippets of an unreleased track of the same name on social media.
While a concrete release date is still pending, the momentum is clearly building for Zach Bryan’s sixth studio album. Notably, McConaughey’s teaser for Motorbreath referred to it as Bryan’s “final major label album” with Warner Records. This has sparked speculation that the critically acclaimed singer-songwriter may be charting an independent course for his music career moving forward.
Fans are anticipating that the new album will include Bryan’s previously released singles from November 2024, ‘High Road’ and ’This World’s A Giant’. However, the inclusion of ‘Blue Jean Baby’ on the album is less certain. Bryan himself has described the newly released track via his Instagram Story as a ‘half song’, developed from a demo that garnered significant fan attention back in September 2023. This suggests that ‘Blue Jean Baby’ might be a special standalone release intended to satisfy his dedicated fanbase.
Despite Bryan’s earlier announcement about taking a break from touring in 2025 to pursue a Master’s degree in Paris, the promise of new music is a welcome reassurance for fans. Adding to the excitement, this Wednesday, January 29th, will see the release of a reimagined duet version of Jack Van Cleaf’s beloved song, ‘Rattlesnake’, featuring Zach Bryan.
