Gavin Adcock drops Light a Fire ahead of Own Worst Enemy, his sophomore album due August 15 through Thrivin’ Here Records LLC with an exclusive license to Warner Music Nashville. The track arrives as fans eagerly await the project, which promises Adcock’s signature raw and unapologetic take on country music.
“I’ve spent the last four years writing, traveling and trying to find time to breathe,” Adcock says. “It doesn’t always add up on paper like it would seem, but through the happiness, hard times and self-destruction, I’ve found that the best part of my job is letting out music for my fans. I’m the furthest thing from perfect and I don’t ever plan to be.” He adds that the album draws on real-life experiences from himself and people around him, aiming to reflect authentic moments and stories.
Own Worst Enemy showcases Adcock’s unfiltered approach, expanding on the momentum from his breakout debut Actin’ Up Again by delivering 24 tracks of new material. Two tracks from the project, Outside Dog and Tall Tales, are already making waves and will be featured on the Madden NFL 26 Soundtrack, released August 14.
Adcock’s rise has been marked by global reach and industry milestones. His work has surpassed a billion streams worldwide, and he has earned four RIAA plaques: A Cigarette is platinum, while Run Your Mouth, Deep End and Four Leaf Clover are gold.
On the live side, Adcock is currently touring on his Need To Tour headline run, which began in May and has already produced sold-out dates across Canada in October. He is also supporting select dates of Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem Tour, including upcoming performances at Rogers Centre in Toronto on September 4 and 5.
Looking ahead, Light a Fire helps set the stage for Own Worst Enemy’s release, signaling a continued push for Adcock’s rebellious, authentic country voice and a growing footprint in both radio and live arenas. Fans can expect more of his candid storytelling and high-energy performances as he rolls out the rest of the album and tour dates.
Summary: Gavin Adcock releases Light a Fire as a lead-in to Own Worst Enemy, a 24-track sophomore album arriving August 15, with tracks featured on Madden NFL 26 and a string of sold-out tour dates, highlighting his continued rise in country music and cross-media exposure. A positive, forward-looking moment for fans and the genre alike.
