NASHVILLE, Tenn. (August 21, 2026) — Rising country artist Braden Hull turns heartbreak into hard-earned perspective on his new single, “Thanks To You,” available now via Melody Place.
Written by Hull with Dan Harrison and Mark Taylor and produced by Adam Sickler, “Thanks To You” looks back at failed relationships with a little distance—and a lot more clarity. Rather than simply dwelling on what went wrong, Hull recognizes what those relationships taught him about love, red flags and what he wants moving forward.
Thanks to you, I’m learning how to sleep alone again every night
And that the bottom of a bottle don’t put up a fight
When everything’s gone, you got nothing to lose
Thanks to you, I’m burning cigarettes just like the bridge you left in flames
Trying to see a future now without the plans we made
Found that moving on’s the hardest thing I’ll do
Thanks to you
“From every failed relationship, I learned the do’s, the don’ts, how to love, and how I should be loved,” Hull says. “I see the red flags clearly now, and I know exactly what heartbreak feels like.”
“Thanks To You” follows Hull’s breakout single “End This Way,” his most-streamed release to date. The song recently surpassed one million Spotify streams and continues to climb the Mediabase and MusicRow radio charts.
Hull is also taking that momentum on the road. He is currently opening for Sara Evans on her We Got The Beat tour, with dates running through November. On August 30, Hull heads overseas to headline Dublin City Council’s Ceol Country Music Festival in Dublin, Ireland.

ABOUT BRADEN HULL
At 23 years old, North Carolina native Braden Hull is quickly building a name for himself in country music. A former firefighter from Lexington, North Carolina, Hull began writing songs and playing guitar as a way to work through the obstacles and emotions he was facing in his own life. That willingness to put real experiences into his songs has become a defining part of his music.
Hull released his debut single, “Falling Out Of Love,” in 2023, accompanied by an emotional TikTok video inspired by his parents’ divorce. The video went viral and continues to connect with listeners who have experienced similar circumstances.
Despite his growing career, Hull remains connected to his hometown. Last year, he launched and headlined the inaugural “Braden’s Christmas Wish” benefit concerts, raising money to help provide Christmas for local families in need.
Hull later signed with Melody Place, home to country star Sara Evans, and has since released songs including “End This Way,” “Coulda Been Love” and “Hey Son.” His music has already reached the Top 50 of MusicRow’s Country Breakout Radio Chart.
Since signing, Hull has shared stages with Craig Morgan, Little Texas, Vince Gill, Whey Jennings, Gavin Adcock and Vincent Mason, in addition to touring major college campuses across North America with Six Pack Coverage.
His recent single “End This Way” has become his biggest streaming release to date, earning coverage from Country Central, Fort Nash, HOLLER, Lowkey Country, Stage Right Secrets and others. Hull will spend much of fall 2026 opening more than 20 dates for Sara Evans’ We Got The Beat tour.
