Young is "Looking" for "All Dogs"
Written by Young with Chris DeStefano, James McNair and Emily Weisband and produced by Young and DeStefano, "Looking For You" is the follow-up to back-to-back number ones "Famous Friends" and "At The End Of A Bar."
"Looking For You" impacts country radio on Jan. 23 and the official music video, directed by Peter Zavadil. Young stars in the clip and his 2015 Dodge Challenger, first featured in the music video for his triple-platinum smash "I'm Comin' Over," makes a return appearance to the screen as well.
"'Looking For You' came from a place where sometimes you're looking for love and can't find it and then sometimes you give up and then it just smacks you in the face like a freight train," said Young. "I think a lot of people have been through this, when you're not looking for love and find someone and realize, this is perfect."
"All Dogs Go To Heaven," also available Jan. 13, is inspired by his own pup, Porter, a Christmas gift in 2017 from his sister Dot. Written by Young with Corey Crowder and Cale Dodds and produced by Young and Crowder, the sentimental song celebrates man's best friend and the pure love of a pet.
"I met Porter when he was basically baked potato sized, and now he's a 115-pound tank of a German Shepherd and I love this dog," said Young. "I think regardless of whether you have a pet of any kind, you can relate to 'All Dogs Go To Heaven' and it's the idea that they'll be waiting on you when you get up there."

CD reviews for Chris Young
Given the massive success of Chris Young's award-winning collaboration with Kane Brown on the title track, it would be an easy assumption to make that his eighth studio album would tow the same contemporary line that landed him a bevy of hits. The result is exactly that. But with some contingencies
The opener, "Raised on Country," starts out with a raucous groove that may get your toes tapping for the entirety, but the lyrics devolve into some painfully tired cliches like ...
Chris Young has one of the best country voices, and it's always a pleasure to hear him sing. But it's disappointing when the title cut sounds more like the groove to a Justin Bieber song than anything truly country. When, say, someone like Jason Aldean performs music with barely any resemblance to real country music, it's not that big a deal; he's not a great natural singer to begin with. However, Young's voice is just too good to waste on mere pop. ...
Song selection can sometimes seem fairly inessential whenever chosen by a master singer. Such is the case with "It Must Be Christmas," Chris Young's new holiday collection. He sounds as perfectly comfortable with the jazzy "I'll Be Home for Christmas," where its supper club vibe takes a little of the edge off one seriously sad song, as he does with the Phil Spector rock nugget "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)."
Young is also helped out by a few special guests. ...
