I posted this song three months ago as a snippet. This shows you how divisive a narrative can be when shoved down our throats through social media. This song is about how much I love this country and everyone in it more than anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>He added, &#8220;When you hear the rest of the song, you will understand the full context that hits on both sides of the aisle. Everyone using this now as a weapon is only proving how devastatingly divisive we all are. We need to find our way back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Before launching his music career, Zach served as an active-duty member of the United States Navy for eight years, signing up at just 17-years-old.<\/p>\n<p>During his military service, he achieved the rank of Aviation Ordnanceman Second Class (AO2).<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on this chapter of his life, Zach wrote, &#8220;I served this country, I love this country and the song itself is all about all of us coming out of this divided space. I wasn&#8217;t speaking as a politician or some greater-than-thou a&#8212;&#8211;e, just a 29 year old man who is just as confused as everyone else.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>DON&#8217;T MISS&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.the-express.com\/entertainment\/music\/179984\/zach-bryan-kansas-city\" target=\"_blank\">Zach Bryan starts war with fans as he vows to &#8216;never play in Kansas City&#8217; again<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.the-express.com\/entertainment\/celebrity-news\/179738\/zach-bryan-ex-Brianna-Chickenfry-tiktok\" target=\"_blank\">Zach Bryan dubbed \u2018scary\u2019 for mocking ex in back and fourth social media spat<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Discussing his political views, the Something in the Orange singer added, &#8220;To see how much s&#8211;t it stirred up makes me not only embarrassed but kind of scared.
