Smith strikes "California Gold"
"California Gold" will include brand new track, "Fix What You Didn't Break," which features Smith's vocals and a country pop/rock production.
"I've always been a huge fan of big epic pop rock songs of the 2000's," said Smith of the track. "Bands like Lifehouse, Goo Goo Dolls, 3 Doors Down were all influences in my early teens. 'Fix What You Didn't Break,' to me, feels like the perfect blend of 2000's rock and heartfelt country. I want to make love songs that cut deep but are still tough. I teamed up with the same crew that wrote "World On Fire" with me: Ashley Gorley, Lindsay Rimes, Taylor Philips and myself.
"This is easily one of my favorites I've released. It will be the first song on my new album out this year. I chose this to come out first because I feel like it really showcases my influences and sonic taste. It's a bit of a theme song for this new project. Hope ya love it."
The 16-track album will include previously released tracks "Wish I Never Felt," collaborations with Avril Lavigne and Alesso as well as the RIAA certified gold track "Bulletproof" which this week broke records and scored Smith his third consecutive multi-week number one on the Mediabase chart.
Smith is the first artist to start their career with three consecutive multi-week number one records in R&R/Media base history. "Bulletproof" follows the record-breaking No. 1 record "World On Fire," which spent 10 consecutive weeks on top of the Billboard Country Airplay Chart and three weeks on top of the Mediabase chart while his first number one single "Whiskey On You" spent two weeks atop the Mediabase chart and one week on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.

1. Fix What You Didn't Break
