Multi-Platinum Curb Records recording artist Dylan Scott delivers a heartfelt letter to the city that will one day take his grown up son in \u201c Dear Big City \u201d , out now. Written by Jamie Paulin, Matt Alderman, and Nate Kenyon, the poignant track finds the narrator asking the city to protect his son while giving him a full and meaningful life, balancing the importance of holding onto small-town roots with the freedom to chase dreams that could not be achieved back home. The track also made its radio world premiere yesterday (6\/25), impacting Country radio now.\u000f\u000f\u201cThis song was captivating to me from the day I heard it, and I knew I wanted it to be my next single right away,\u201d said Scott. \u201cThe lyric itself spoke to me because not only did I leave the small town when I was younger to move to Nashville to chase my dream, but I also know there are so many people in this world who have a similar story or know somebody who has. Whether parents had a kid leave home and move off to college or if the parents themselves did the same thing for a job, I think everyone can relate to a song like this.\u201d\u000f\u000f\u201c Dear Big City \u201d follows another heartfelt track, \u201c Slow Down Ol\u2019 Son ,\u201d which shined a light on Scott\u2019s late mother in a special way. Written by Scott, Matt Alderman and Will Weatherly, the sincere tune was inspired by his mom frequently telling him to \u201cslow down\u201d as a child, a message he has now passed down to his two sons and daughter. All Country News praised the track, stating \u201cScott\u2019s signature Louisiana drawl wraps around each line like a well-worn piece of advice handed down through generations,\u201d also crediting the inspiration \u201cas timeless as it is personal.” The music video for the song accompanied the release, featuring homemade videos of his family and his own childhood \u2013With seven No. 1 hits to his name, the chart-topper looks to have another strong impact day with \u201c Dear Big City: .\u201d Scott snagged his most recent No. 1 in April with \u201c What He\u2019ll Never Have,\u201d which was named by ASCAP as one of the most-performed country songs of 2025. Scott landed two No. 1s in 2025 alone, making him the third most-played artist at Country radio last year. In addition to landing the coveted top spot on the charts, Scott also continues to rack up RIAA certifications, most recently earning 4x Platinum for \u201cMy Girl,\u201d 2x Platinum for \u201cCan\u2019t Have Mine (Find You A Girl)\u201d and Platinum for \u201cGood Times Go By Too Fast.\u201d\u000f\u000fThe road warrior recently wrapped his Till I Can\u2019t I Will Tour last month with special guests 12\/OC, Kelsey Hart and Lauren Watkins on select dates. He will continue to play fairs and festivals throughout the summer, taking his electrifying performance to stages across the country.\u000f\u000fABOUT DYLAN SCOTT:\u000fDespite a multi-Platinum story and seven No. 1 singles, including two fresh smashes in 2025 alone, Curb Records hitmaker Dylan Scott has always kept an underdog mindset. A rowdy roughneck with a romantic side \u2013 one whose modern edge was sharpened by timeless, emotional twang \u2013 the consummate family man broke out with the epic triple-Platinum devotion of \u201cMy Girl\u201d in 2016 and followed up with scrappy, under-the-radar consistency. Chart-topping heart-forward anthems like \u201cCan\u2019t Have Mine (Find You A Girl),\u201d \u201cNobody\u201d and \u201cNew Truck\u201d all reached RIAA-certified status, but last year launched the crooner into the stratosphere. Posting back-to-back No. 1s with Gold-certified \u201cBoys Back Home\u201d (with Dylan Marlowe) and Platinum-certified \u201cThis Town\u2019s Been Too Good to Us,\u201d Scott wrapped 2025 as the third most-played country artist of 2025 and continues his hot streak with his latest No. 1, Platinum-certified \u201cWhat He\u2019ll Never Have,\u201d which was honoured by ASCAP as one of the most-performed country songs of 2025. With nearly 5 billion career streams, legions of fans and countless sold-out shows to his credit, his stardom has somehow grown in relative stealth. But with his third full album, Easy Does It, he\u2019s not sweating. Sure of himself, his talent and his fans, Scott heads toward a new creative chapter with total confidence. Featuring 11 tracks, his signature vocal and vivid intensity take centre stage on a set defined by personal truth \u2013 whether through heartbreak, romantic devotion or small-town dedication. He now takes his current single \u201cDear Big City\u201d to Country radio, balancing small town roots with big city dreams. The in-demand live act spent last year on his Country Till I Die Tour, headlining his biggest venues yet including his first-ever arenas and record-breaking attendance, and his Easy Does It Tour. He just wrapped his headlining Till I Can\u2019t I Will Tour and will continue to play fairs and festivals throughout the summer.\u000f\u000fAbout Curb Records:\u000fCelebrating over 60 years in business, Curb Records is the largest independently distributed record company in America.
