NASHVILLE, TENN.<\/strong> \u2013 Today, country superstar Lauren Alaina<\/strong> releases confessional new track \u201cNever Been In Love (feat. Kane Brown)<\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u201d from her forthcoming album Stages<\/u><\/strong><\/em><\/a>, due August 28. Featuring her RIAA Diamond-certified \u201cWhat Ifs\u201d duet partner, childhood friend and global superstar Kane Brown, the two announced the collaboration via Instagram<\/u><\/a> last week in a \u201cLove Island\u201d style parody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wrote ‘Never Been In Love (feat. Kane Brown)’ about the stage of life I’m in now,\u201d shares Alaina<\/strong>. \u201cI remember falling for my husband and feeling different than I’ve ever felt before. When you find true love and happiness, you realize how much you never had it in past relationships. I’m so excited to sing this song with my boy, Kane Brown. We’ve come a long way from those two kids singing ‘What Ifs’ ten years ago. It’s so exciting to sing this song to celebrate the love we have with our spouses and children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNever Been In Love (feat. Kane Brown)\u201d was written by Lauren Alaina, Songwriters Hall of Famer Ashley Gorley and Ben Johnson. After reflecting on her previous relationships, Alaina comes to a revelation about her love interest in this upbeat track:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I, I’ve never been in love<\/em>
I swear I thought I was, but now it’s time the truth came out<\/em>
Oh<\/em>
I said it a thousand times<\/em>
Now I know I was lying<\/em>
I’ve never been in love ’til now<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her forthcoming album Stages<\/em>, produced by hitmakers Joey Moi<\/strong> and Ben Johnson<\/strong>, chronicles the defining chapters of Alaina’s life with the lyrical candor she’s known for, and signature powerhouse vocals. Over the course of the album, she explores coming of age and sowing wild oats on Nashville’s Lower Broadway to starting a family and much more. The project builds on the momentum of chart-climbing \u201cAll My Exes (feat. Chase Matthew)<\/u><\/strong><\/a>,\u201d the smash that earned Alaina the biggest first-week streaming numbers of her career and was twice most-added at country radio, anthemic new jam, \u201cRaining Whiskey<\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u201d and better-than-revenge track \u201cBetter Off<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight, Lauren makes history as the first female headliner at Paperfest, a free-admission event that supports local charitable organizations in Kimberly, Wisconsin. Throughout the summer Alaina will play a variety of festivals including Sun Country Fest, The Back Road Music Festival and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning this fall, Alaina will go on her headlining The Stages Tour <\/em>spotlighting every era of her career, blending new music with the fan-favorite anthems that have defined her rise. Support across select dates will include rising artists Shane Profitt, Ashley Kutcher, and Hannah Harper. Tickets for all dates (except Nov 7) are on sale now.
