Drake White announces new single "Nights on Fire"

 Drake White is having one of those quietly powerful moments that sneaks up on you and then sticks.

Drake White just rolled out a new single, “Nights on Fire,” and it’s exactly the kind of song that feels better the louder you play it. The track leans warm and nostalgic, built on piano, slide guitar, and lyrics that glow with late-summer Southern imagery. It’s reflective without being heavy, soulful without trying too hard. Very Drake White.

The song made its international debut this week on BBC Radio 2, which feels fitting for an artist whose music tends to travel well beyond borders. “Nights on Fire” follows “Nuthin’ But a Smile,” continuing a stretch of releases that feel optimistic, lived-in, and rooted in joy.

Away from the studio, White has also been sharing a more personal project. Earlier this fall, he hosted an intimate premiere for his new documentary The Hunts the Healing at The Duck Blind in Nashville. The film explores healing, the outdoors, and mental wellness, and officially premieres later this month. It’s a natural extension of the work White has been doing offstage in recent years.

That mission continues this November with the return of his “Benefit For The Brain” concert at Ryman Auditorium. The event supports causes focused on brain health, PTSD, and neurological recovery, and last year’s show sold out while raising over a quarter-million dollars. Round two is set for November 17, with more details still to come.
