STAIND frontman Aaron Lewis will release his new solo album, "Give My Country Back", on July 17 via Big Machine Label Group.
The album's opening track, "The Door", is now available to stream below.
With his sixth solo country album, Lewis delivers unapologetic honesty and hard-earned perspective that have defined his career.
Across ten tracks, "Give My Country Back" explores themes of accountability, resilience, faith, patriotism, and personal growth, blending roughhewn honky-tonk roots with modern country muscle.
"That's life's struggle right there," Lewis says.
"You are the master of your own destiny, and everything happens because of your actions — whether you want to admit it or not.
Self-ownership is a huge thing to learn how to do in this life, and it's always an internal battle." Produced by Sol Philcox-Littlefield, the album co-writes five songs with longtime collaborators and additional contributions from Casey Bethard, Travis Meadows, and others helped shape the reflective yet fiery spirit.
The title track, "Give My Country Back", channels swampy country grit, stinging acoustic riffs, and unwavering conviction into an anthem rooted in freedom and frustration with the modern political climate.
"I actually care about the fact we have people we put in their positions who are in no way, shape, or form doing anything in any way that is better for us," Lewis says.
Lewis has spent more than 15 years building one of country music's most unique acts.
Following a multi-platinum rock career, he successfully transitioned into country music while maintaining the fiercely loyal audience that first connected with his brutally honest songwriting.
Since launching his solo country career, Lewis earned two No.
1 Billboard Country Album debuts with "Town Line" and "Sinner", released the platinum-certified collaboration "Country Boy" featuring George Jones and Charlie Daniels, and scored a gold-certified No.
1 hit with 2021's "Am I The Only One".
His catalog has now surpassed 5.7 billion career streams worldwide.
At 54 years old, Lewis says "Give My Country Back" reflects a season of change and renewed focus in his life, both personally and creatively.
This is the perfect record for where he's at right now," Lewis explains.
"As you get older, you start realizing your time is coming to a close.
I wasn't living as cleanly as possible, so I quit drinking.
I quit smoking cigarettes.
I've done some kickboxing.
I'm on a healthier routine, and I want to get better before I can't." Songs including "The Door", "Bad Thing to Be Good At", "Too High For This", "Let Go Like The Rain" and "People I've Known" showcase Lewis's fearless songwriting and unmistakable voice — balancing conviction, vulnerability, and raw reflection throughout the album.
My music is my life," Lewis says.
