"Stick Season" is a song by American singer-songwriter Noah Kahan, released as the lead single from his album Stick Season on July 8, 2022. Kahan wrote the song and produced it with Gabe Simon. Although moderately successful in the US upon release, the song went viral on TikTok in mid-2023 and charted internationally, reaching number one in the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, the Netherlands and the Flanders region of Belgium, as well as charting in the top 10 in Canada, New Zealand, and the United States.

Contents

Background and composition

An early version of the song was performed on a live stream on Kahan's Instagram, broadcast some time shortly prior to November 3 2020. [2] Kahan wrote a verse of the song during a "bout of insecurity" and uploaded it to TikTok in 2022. It became successful quickly, prompting him to finish writing the song, which "ended up taking a long time". Kahan was also concerned whether a song written "specifically about his home state of Vermont" would connect with people who live elsewhere, but responses to the completed song were universally positive. [1]

The song title refers to a term for autumn in New England, the period after Halloween before the winter snow begins, [3] which Kahan called "a time of transition" and "super depressing" as "it just means that winter is coming soon and it creates a lot of anxiety" and "nobody really likes it". [4]
