You, written by Young with Luke Laird, is the follow up to his Tomorrow from his third album "Neon." He also had chart toppers with Gettin' You Home, Voices and the title track to his 2009 gold certified sophomore album, "The Man I Want To Be."
Young also just received two nominations for the Academy of Country Music Awards in the categories of Male Vocalist of the Year and Single Record of the Year for Tomorrow."
Young has had a busy start to the new year as he recently performed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. In the coming months, Young remains on the road with labelmate Miranda Lambert for the "On Fire" tour.
