Kane Brown's latest song "Whiskey Sour" doesn't really have much to do with his life, marriage, and happiness with his wife Katelyn Brown, it's actually the story of a handful of friends in his life these days.

Kane said of the song and writing it, “The story behind the song is kind of weird for me. All my friends are really going through a depressing time with relationships."

He added, "So when I heard this song for the first time, it really resonated with me just because the people around me and that’s why I fell in love with the song so much I love it and tell other people’s stories.”

The chorus of the song sings, "So now I take my whiskey sour / Sitting bar-side after-hours / Thinking how can I get over if the love was never ours? / Hell, I know you got my message / All my Xs and my Os / And it kills me by the hour / Now I take my whiskey sours alone."
