Tim McGraw shared an emotional new ballad on Friday (August 1).

The iconic country artist debuted “King Rodeo,” and premiered the video of his live rendition of the song at the first-ever Music City Rodeo earlier this year in Nashville, Tennessee. McGraw headlined one night of the inaugural event in late May, along with Nashville-born superstar Jelly Roll and legendary singer-songwriter Reba McEntire.

“King Rodeo” adds to a growing list of songs throughout McGraw’s decades-spanning career. The Louisiana-born country star is known for “I Like It, I Love It,” “Live Like You Were Dying,” “Highway Don’t Care” with Taylor Swift and Keith Urban, “Down On The Farm,” “Humble And Kind,” “It’s Your Love” with Faith Hill, “My Best Friend” and many other hits since his debut in the 90s.
