Nate Smith teams with Tyler Hubbard for their first collaboration “After Midnight,” out now with a Jeff Johnson and Kaiser Cunningham directed music video. Smith calls working with Hubbard a bucket list moment, praising his voice, energy and songwriting while describing the track as embodying everything he loves in a song. Hubbard co-wrote “After Midnight” alongside producer Casey Brown and Corey Crowder, crafting a campfire singalong that explodes into arena anthem territory with lines like “Tailgates go down / Solos get flipped / Girls get to dancing / When headlights get lit.” The robust guitar riff drives a chantable chorus where both artists lock in for maximum impact. The accompanying video captures the spirit perfectly with bonfires, four-wheelers, beer pong and red cups flying as Smith and Hubbard trade vocals surrounded by friends living out the song’s late night energy.
