Keith Urban has dropped another song from his forthcoming live album. The singer-songwriter just released “‘Til Summer Comes Around,” ahead of the new project.

“‘Til Summer Comes Around” was first released by Urban in 2009, from Urban’s Defying Gravity album. Urban wrote the song with Monty Powell. Urban already released “Long Hot Summer” and “Straight Line” from the record.

What We Know About Keith Urban’s Live Album

Urban announced his live album in July, when he announced the release of “Long Hot Summer.” The songs are being recorded while on his current High and Alive World Tour. The record is expected to be releaed this fall, although a title and release date have yet to be revealed.

“We have a live album coming out sometime this year,” Urban reveals on Country Countdown USA. “I’ve never done one. It’s kind of crazy. We felt on this tour, it was feeling musically special, the crowd energy was really special, so let’s start capturing some of these and see if we can do an album.”

The Other New Album Keith Urban Is Working On

In addition to the live album, Urban is also working on another new project, the follow-up to his 2024 HIGH project.

“I’ve been writing quite a bit,” Urban reveals. “I’ve been recording quite a bit. I’m looking forward to getting back into the studio. That’s what I do.  I don’t have hobbies. I love music. That’s what I do.”

Keith Urban’s Curent “Straight Line” Single

Urban has a Top 20 hit right now with “Straight Line,” from HIGH. Urban penned the song with Chase McGill, Jerry Flowers and Greg Wells.

“‘Straight Line’ was just one of those songs that, it happened from a feeling in the studio, playing, and that melody coming and the lyric coming,” Urban shares. “The song just sort of grew. It just grew really quickly. There are two songs that are on this album that came from two days of writing with three of my buddies that I love writing with, and ‘Straight Line’ was the second of the two songs we wrote.”

“I just loved the spirit of it,” he continues. “I think if anybody has seen us play live, this song for me captures a lot of that feeling of what I’m trying to create in the room that we’re playing in, the feeling I want people to have. I felt like ‘Straight Line’ has that feeling about it, and it seemed like a perfect first song.”

When releasing HIGH, the Grand Ole Opry member said the song was the perfect way to introduce the entire project.

“I chose it first for a lot of reasons, but particularly because I think it represents an energy and spirit that became a through line of the whole record,” Urban said at the time. “I’m gonna cover a lot of themes, emotions and vibes on this album but a very human spirit runs through them all.

“‘Straight Line’ is wanting to break out of a soul-sucking routine that you might be stuck in: maybe in a relationship, a job, with creativity, with yourself…whatever it is !!” he continued. “It’s a message of feeling alive again and getting out from under that dark cloud. If you’ve seen us in concert, I hope it gives you that same feeling. ‘Straight Line’ is out now!”
