WYATT FLORES SHARES NEW SONG “HALF THE MAN”
ANTICIPATED NEW ALBUM SCARED OF HEIGHTS OUT
JULY 31
EARNS NEW RIAA CERTIFICATIONS FOR “PLEASE DON’T GO” (2X PLATINUM), “MILWAUKEE” (GOLD) + “LOSING SLEEP” (GOLD)
EXTENSIVE “DRIVE ALL NIGHT TOUR” UNDERWAY
05 JUNE 2026 (TORONTO, ON) — Acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Wyatt Flores shares his new song, Half The Man,” today; listen/share HERE.
Of the new song, Flores shares, "This is the proudest I've ever been of a song, especially as a songwriter. I was blessed to be raised by two incredible parents, and I've always wanted a song that captures not only how great they are but also the pressures I feel of trying to live up to that high standard they set and how hard it is to be away from them, my family, my friends, and my hometown living this crazy life."
The track is the latest unveiled from Flores’ anticipated new album, Scared of Heights, out July 31 via Island Records/MCA (pre-order/pre-save HERE). Produced by Charlie Handsome (Post Malone, Morgan Wallen), Jacob “JKash” Hindlin (Dua Lipa) and Gian Stone (Maroon 5), Scared of Heights marks a new chapter for Flores, as he expands his sound to incorporate elements of early 2000s rock, while continuing to put forth the vulnerable songwriting that’s established him as “one of the genre’s most conspicuous new voices” (Billboard). Across the album’s 13 tracks, including previously released songs “Drive All Night” and “Runnin’ On E,” Flores offers an unfiltered look at his life these past few years, as he’s learned what it means to face darkness head-on in order to find moments of peace.
“For the longest time, I thought I was just scared of heights,” shares Flores of the new project, “Truthfully, I’m not scared of heights; it really is all about the fall. I’d have to say that I’m more scared of failing, but if I’m gonna fail, I’m gonna do it on my own terms. These are my songs. This is the happiest I’ve ever been with an album, and I just have to stand on it. There’s been a lot of growth between Welcome To The Plains and Scared of Heights. All my fears are wrapped into this album, and if it has one message, it’s still about hope—it’s always been about trying to give you the encouragement to go live life because we only get one chance at this. And yes, it’s gonna be a steep fall when you take the jump, but you gotta take the jump.”
The new album is just the latest career milestone for Flores, who recently earned new RIAA certifications for his songs “Please Don’t Go” (2x Platinum), “Milwaukee” (Gold) and “Losing Sleep” (Gold).
An electric live performer, Flores will continue to tour through the fall with his extensive “Drive All Night Tour,” as well as select dates with The Red Clay Strays and Koe Wetzel. See below for complete itinerary.
Scared of Heights follows Flores’ first live album, Live At Cain’s Ballroom, as well as his acclaimed 2024 full-length debut album, Welcome to the Plains (stream/purchase here). The album was released to overwhelming attention and led Flores to be featured on NPR Music’s “Tiny Desk Concert” series, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, CBS Mornings’ “Saturday Sessions” and NPR’s “All Things Considered.”
Born and raised in Oklahoma, the Mexican-American artist has established himself as one of country music’s most vital voices. Most recently, Flores received the Rising Star Award from the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in front of a sold-out crowd at Stillwater’s Boone Pickens Stadium, joining artists such as The All-American Rejects, Kings of Leon, Carrie Underwood and Blake Shelton. He’s also been recognized as one of Rolling Stone’s 25 “Future of Music” artists, was awarded the PLUS1 Rising Star Award, received a nomination for Emerging Act of the Year at the 2024 Americana Honors & Awards, was selected as Amazon’s Breakthrough Artist of the Year, included in Spotify’s Hot Country Class of 2024 and CMT’s Listen Up class, and made his Grand Ole Opry debut. Additionally, Flores has garnered over 1.4 billion streams to date, saw his breakout single, “Please Don’t Go,” scale the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart and had his song, “Before I Do,” with Jake Kohn featured on the soundtrack for the Twisters movie.
