Over the last two years, Brett Landin<\/a> made the most of the time she had with friends and family. Now that she\u2019s drifted off to pursue a career in country music, she is sharing her gratitude for those she misses most with her brand new nostalgic single \u201cSame Coast<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n Out today (Friday, Oct. 24) and co-written in just under an hour alongside her good friend and producer, Johnny Hanson, \u201cSame Coast\u201d is inspired by the people closest to Landin\u2019s heart. The track pays tribute to the college buddies that shaped her \u2014 the ones with whom she\u2019s laughed, caught a buzz with, tailgated with, and driven around in the car with, with the windows rolled down.\u00a0<\/p>\n Speaking of car rides, the emerging female country-Americana artist and University of Southern California graduate says inspiration for \u201cSame Coast\u201d came through the speakers of her car in the form of a text.<\/p>\n \u201cThe inspiration came directly from a text that I got from one of my best guy friends in college,\u201d Landin laughs, remembering the moment Apple CarPlay unexpectedly read the message aloud from one of her group chats. \u201cHe said, \u2018I really miss doing life with you all. Like, the homecomings and the game days. I\u2019m overall happier than I\u2019ve ever been, but I wish we were all doing life together.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n For Landin, that simple text sparked something immediate. On her way to Hanson\u2019s house to record vocals for another track, the New York-based artist found herself humming a melody.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt was one of those out-of-body experiences,\u201d she recalls. \u201cWe were gonna put down vocals for another song, and I ran through Johnny\u2019s studio door and said, \u2018Scratch those plans, we need to write this now.\u2019 Forty-five minutes later, \u2018Same Coast\u2019 was born.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI love every bit of it,\u201d Landin says of the sun-washed, breezy anthem that captures both the longing and love woven into friendships that are never outgrown, even when life takes you in different directions. \u201cIt rings true for me in the season of life that I\u2019m in right now, but it\u2019s also really special that it came straight from the horse\u2019s mouth in a sense that it\u2019s a song about my friends.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve seen the sound bites on social media, but they haven\u2019t heard it front to back,\u201d she notes of her friend group, who are aware of the song\u2019s existence. \u201cThey know that there\u2019s a song coming out. I think they both feel like they\u2019re having their Taylor Swift moment.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSame Coast\u201d paves the way for a second track that Landin promises to deliver before the end of the year, as well as an EP to follow in 2026. The song follows Landin\u2019s debut EP, Who Knew, <\/em>which landed on major Spotify playlists such as Fresh Finds Country.\u00a0<\/p>\n Though Landin longs to see her friends on the West Coast, she will be keeping busy on the East Coast through much of the holiday season. Along with singing and songwriting, the talented artist is working towards her master\u2019s degree in occupational therapy. She is currently completing her clinical rotation in the ICU, where she will spend most of her time during the Christmas season.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI will be spending the holidays in New York City,\u201d she shares. \u201cPeople who are in the ICU still need care and extra TLC, especially during the holiday season, so I\u2019ll be working holidays in NYC and come New Year, I\u2019ll go home and see family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Oh her busy lifestyle, she admits, \u201cI don\u2019t know how I do it. But I have the best support system \u2014\u00a0my family, my friends, and my boyfriend. I think being a student and a musician at the same time has made me a better person, songwriter, and performer. It keeps me grounded.\u201d<\/p>\n Friendships that support and ground Landin will be the lyrical backbone of her upcoming five-track EP, which is slated to arrive in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIn this season of life that I\u2019ve been in these past two years, I feel like it was my friends and family that were anchoring me down and holding me up and allowing me to grow,\u201d Landin says. \u201cSo this EP is dedicated to them. There are homages to all of those people that I think always don\u2019t get the airtime with the heartbreak that the boys get. So I wanted to pay tribute to them and to the season of life that I\u2019m in.\u201d<\/p>\n Before then, fans can look for her next track to debut in December, one that offers a different tone in contrast to \u201cSame Coast.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI think that this song is the uptempo, we\u2019re starting football season, it\u2019s very much reminiscing on how summer is wrapping up and heading into fall. The song coming in December is about my brother, and it\u2019s one of the most grounded and authentic songs that I\u2019ve ever written\u2026.\u201d she teases. \u201cIf \u2018Same Coast\u2019 is about friends who share your memories, this one is about siblings who share your story.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI could not be more proud of all the songs that are going to be on this project,\u201d Landin continues. \u201cI think that it truly is a really special collection of songs that tell a story that I\u2019m hoping will touch people on a deep and personal level.\u201d<\/p>\n For Landin, 2026 promises to be a turning point.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll be done with my program and ready to lean into music full-time,\u201d she says. \u201cI want to grow my team, bring on a manager, and hopefully open for another artist on tour. I\u2019ve given 100% to music\u2014but next year, I\u2019m giving another 100%.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSame Coast\u201d makes its radio debut today on both WSM in Nashville and New York\u2019s Country 94.7, with Landin joining WSM for a live interview ahead of her performance at the Opry Plaza tomorrow at 5:15 p.m.<\/p>\n Fans can keep up with Brett Landin on Instagram<\/a>. \u201cSame Coast\u201d is available to stream everywhere, including Apple Music<\/a> and Spotify<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Brett](\"https:\/\/countrynow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Brett-Landin-Same-Coast-Art-1024x1024.jpg\")
