ACM New Male Artist of the Year Nate Smith and country rock powerhouse HARDY have joined forces to release their much-anticipated new single, "Nobody Likes Your Girlfriend." Alongside the track, the duo unveiled an electrifying music video featuring actor and comedian Kevin James, as well as digital creators Sophia La Corte and Amanda Mertz. Directed by Spidey Smith, the video brings an extra dose of humor and star power to the song, which is expected to make waves across the country music scene.

Smith expressed his admiration for HARDY, recalling how he was captivated by HARDY’s signature style upon first hearing "Rednecker."

“I’ve been a fan of HARDY for a long time,” Smith said.

Not only is he one of the most sought-after songwriters in country music, but he’s also a massive star in his own right. Having him join me on this song is truly humbling. From the start, we both knew this song had to be done this way—it speaks to so many people in a way that feels real. And on top of that, it’s easily one of the catchiest songs I’ve ever been a part of. I can’t wait to hear crowds singing it at the top of their lungs everywhere I go this year.”

Adding to the excitement, the video features legendary comedian Kevin James in a leading role. Smith shared his enthusiasm about James' involvement, revealing that he initially reached out to the comedian on a whim and was thrilled when James agreed to participate.

“You wouldn’t believe how much we laughed on set,” Smith said. “Kevin James is not just a comedy legend, he’s an incredible human being. The generosity of people like HARDY, Kevin, and so many others allows me to live my wildest dreams. Dream big, y’all!”

Smith, who recently released his sophomore album California Gold, is showing no signs of slowing down. The album debuted in the Top 15 on Billboard’s Country Album Chart and features collaborations with Avril Lavigne and Alesso. His latest hit, "Bulletproof," became his third consecutive multi-week No. 1 single, a record-breaking feat in country music history.

With new music on the horizon, Smith is gearing up for an extensive tour schedule. His Through The Smoke World Tour will take him across Canada, Europe, and the United Kingdom, including stops at the C2C Festival. Additionally, he will join Jason Aldean on the Full Throttle Tour this summer.

Meanwhile, HARDY continues his meteoric rise with his rock-infused album Quit!!, which topped the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart. Known for his high-energy performances, HARDY will embark on the JIM BOB World Tour, headlining major venues like Madison Square Garden and London’s O2 Academy Brixton.
