"Single Man" is a song recorded by Canadian country group High Valley. [1] The song was written by the group's frontman Brad Rempel along with Jordan Schmidt and Derrick Southerland. [2]
Both Rempel brothers of High Valley are married and have kids with their wives, and they elected to use a play-on-words with the sing title. Rather than singing about being a "single man", the song is the narrator singing about how they don't know a single man who wouldn't want what he has. [3] Brad Rempel, who co-wrote the track, said he "loved how it talked about how sometimes, being single looks amazing but it never can beat what we have at home with our family". [4]
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country said the song "feels like something you'd keep time with around the campfire", adding that High Valley "[doubles] down on the foot-stomping, rootsy sound they've softly been introducing to mainstream country music crowds in the United States. [5] Nicole Bochinis of NY Country Swag called the track "upbeat", saying "the future is looking very bright" for the group. [6]
"Single Man" reached a peak of number 2 on the Billboard Canada Country chart, marking the group's sixth Top 5 hit. [7] It also peaked at number 81 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, their highest charting entry there since "Come On Down" in 2015. [8] The track was certified Platinum by Music Canada. [9]
The official music video for "Single Man" was filmed on a ranch outside Nashville, Tennessee, and features a man doing his best to be a good husband and father. [10] It was directed by Sean Hagwell and premiered on May 1, 2019. [11] [12]
