The country star’s seven-track project will include a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Atlantic City,” which he has performed live at shows for years. In addition to the Springsteen classic, the EP also features the title track, “Way Out Here,” and his current single, “Damn Good Day To Leave.”

“We’ve been playing these new songs on the road and wanted to get them to the fans soon as possible,” said Green in a press statement. “I’m always working on new music and have more coming throughout the year.”

Green previously teased one of the new tracks on the  Way Out Here track list, “Jesus Saves,” on Instagram. The multiplatinum singer-songwriter shared a video of himself performing the song, which garnered comments from Morgan Wallen (“Love this brother”), Trey Lewis (“Pure”), Kolby Cooper (“Holy cow this is elite”), and Wade Bowen (“Damn good”), among others.

Five Riley Green Songs Everyone Should Know

  • "There Was This Girl" (2018)

    This song was released in June of 2018 as his debut single and the first from Riley’s debut studio album, Different ‘Round Here. The song is a story about various women’s impact on the narrator’s life. The music video for the song was filmed with the help of screaming fans at a club show Green was performing at in his home state of Alabama.

  • "Copenhagen In A Cadillac" featuring Jelly Roll (2023)

    Riley told me of the collaboration with one of country music’s most popular guys, “I wrote the song ‘Copenhagen and a Cadillac.’ It was just a fun title and a fun song, kind of light-hearted. I really wasn’t planning on cutting it for this record, and then I did a show with Jelly Roll somewhere, and I thought of him when I came across that song, so I texted it to him, and he called me immediately and loved the song and wanted to be a part of it.”

    He added, “It worked out great, and I think it’s a collaboration that I think probably people aren’t expecting, so I’m excited about people hearing that.”

  • "Half Of Me" with Thomas Rhett (2022)

    This song went all the way to number one on the country charts and was co-written by Rhett and his father, Rhett Akins. Thomas suggested adding Riley Green as a duet partner because the two had become friends after hunting together. The song is about a man who wants to consume alcohol instead of tending to his everyday chores.

  • "Different 'Round Here" with Luke Combs (2023)

    Green told me how the collaboration with Combs came about, “I wish I had a really cool story about it; I just texted him and said, ‘You want to be a part of this song?’ It was always a really big song for me, and the fans have always screamed that song to me at shows when I play it. I told him I thought it might be the next single, and fortunately for me, he wanted to be a part of it.”

  • "I Wish Grandpas Never Died" (2019)

    The song that brought Green to the country music dance. Riley had written the song and performed it on tour before adding it to the tracklist of his debut album. He was persuaded to record the song by Brad Paisley. The song is a tribute to Green’s grandfathers, who are also credited as co-writers on the song.
