" 23 " is a song by American country music singer Sam Hunt . It was released on September 9, 2021, as the lead single from his upcoming third studio album. Hunt wrote the song with Shane McAnally , Chris LaCorte, and Josh Osborne , while LaCorte produced it. [1]

Background [ edit ]

In July 2020, Hunt shared an acoustic performance video of the track on Instagram , which was later aired as part of the 2020 Highway Finds Fest the same month. [2] Lauren Jo Black of Country Now called the song "nostalgic" about a prior relationship Hunt was in, in which he "fondly reminisc[es] on all of the memories he shared with an ex lover. And although they've moved on from each other, he admits he still cherishes the times they shared together". [3]

Composition [ edit ]

Tom Roland of Billboard noted that the song uses "only two chords" in contrast to country music's three-chord norm, alternating "between a pair of major seventh chords, a four-note construct with one extra note that's only a half step below the root". [4]

Cover art [ edit ]

The photograph used is an early photo of Hunt's wife's aunt and uncle when they were a young couple. [5]

Music video [ edit ]

The music video was released on October 1, 2021, and directed by Tim Mattia. According to Chris Parton of Sounds Like Nashville , the video features three characters: "a single mom who dreams of carefree freedom, an old man who longs for a fast horse and the open range, or a woman still holding on to that 23-year-old summer". The video shows them each using a virtual reality headset to "relive their most treasured memories". [6]
