Bailey Zimmerman fans can rejoice because he just announced plans to release his highly-awaited debut album, Religiously: The Album.
In celebration of his upcoming project, the country music singer/songwriter, 23, is also sharing the title track from the forthcoming album, out today (Friday, March 17) via Warner Music Nashville/Elektra.
Following songs “Fix’n To Break” and “Get To Gettin’ Gone,” “Religiously” finds Zimmerman servicing a heartbreak anthem as he reminisces over a former romance that didn’t work out. He seemingly regrets the fate of him and his love interest as it didn’t turn out the way he had hoped.
“It’s been a couple years / And yeah I’ve had my share / Of other broken up hearts / But I only shed real tears over ours,” Zimmerman sings in the first verse of the track.
“And now I’m in this cold bright light / And this don’t even feel like life / ‘Cause I don’t have the only woman who believed in me / Religiously / And now I’m in the back of the church / Prayin’ just to stop the hurt / ‘Cause I don’t have the only woman who was there for me / Religiously,” he sings throughout the chorus of the track.

As for his upcoming album, fans can look for 16 tracks, 11 of which were co-written by the Illinois native. Religiously: The Album will follow Zimmerman’s 2022 record-breaking debut EP, Leave The Light On.
The nine-track project made history upon its release, becoming the most-streamed all-genre debut of 2022 and the biggest streaming country debut of all time. Leave The Light On is currently sitting at the No. 4 spot on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. The song is also in the Top 30 on the Billboard 200 chart.
“The past two years of my life have been insane, and the fact that I get to release my first-ever album is so surreal,” Zimmerman shared in a press release. “Thank you to everyone that has had my back through thick and thin. I will never be able to repay y’all for the love and support. This album is for you.”
Aside from prepping his upcoming studio album, Zimmerman, who has earned more than 1.5 billion career streams to date, has also scored his first nomination going into the 2023 CMT Music Awards.
