NEW RELEASE MARKS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW CHAPTER FOLLOWING TIME AWAY FOCUSED ON FAMILY, HOME AND CREATIVE RENEWAL
NASHVILLE, TENN. – Multi-Platinum country superstar Dallas Smith returns today with the release of his brand-new single, “Good Time Goes,” available now via Big Loud/Local Hay Records on all streaming platforms and impacting Canadian country radio immediately.
Written by Blake Pendergrass, Sam Ellis and McCoy Moore, the highly anticipated track marks Smith’s first solo release since his 2023 hits “Use Me” and “CRZY,” and ushers in a new era.
Following an ambitious 52-date tour across Canada in the fall and winter of 2025, Smith made the intentional decision to step away from the road and reconnect with the parts of life that often take a backseat to a demanding touring schedule. Over the past few months, he focused on spending time with family, building his dream home and returning to the studio with a renewed sense of purpose and creativity.
That time away laid the foundation for “Good Time Goes,” a song that captures the perspective that comes with appreciating life’s moments as they happen and embracing the passage of time.
“‘Good Time Goes’ felt like the perfect song to introduce this next chapter,” says Smith. “After being on the road for so long, it was important for me to spend time with my family, slow things down and reconnect. Getting back into the studio was incredibly inspiring, and I wanted the first song out of the gate to have some energy and feel-good momentum behind it. I’m excited to finally share it and let people hear what we’ve been working on.”
As Smith begins this next chapter, his influence continues to reach new milestones. Recently, both “Lifted” and “Jumped Right In” were certified Platinum selling albums, further cementing a career that now includes 14 No. 1 singles at Canadian country radio, millions of streams and a string of fan-favorite hits that have helped define the genre over the past decade. Yet despite the success, “Good Time Goes” reflects an artist who remains grounded in the experiences that matter most.
While Smith remains one of the most accomplished artists in Canadian country music, “Good Time Goes” isn’t about looking back. It’s about moving forward, carrying the lessons learned from years spent chasing dreams while embracing the life built along the way.
For fans who have followed Smith’s journey from packed arenas to chart-topping radio hits, the song offers a glimpse into where he is today: grounded, grateful, creatively energized and excited about what’s ahead.
