NASHVILLE, TN – September 9, 2025 – MCA / Mercury Nashville / Universal Music Canada / CORE Records global country force Josh Ross is back on top today with the #1 most-added single at country radio this week, “Hate How You Look.” 

Written by Chris McKenna, Christian Yancey, Jessica Farren, and Nicholas Sainato and produced by Matt Geroux, MusicRow calls the new single “a marvelously well written toe tapper” that “soars right along with (Ross’) powerful delivery.”

“Wild,” Ross reacts. “Thank you to country radio, and everyone who’s listening to ‘Hate How You Look.’ To follow up ‘Single Again’ with a song I love and this kind of support is special; I don’t take a bit of it for granted.”

Notching 70 first-week stations, the addictive up-tempo was featured today as one of Billboard’s coveted Makin’ Tracks features, calling out “a title, ‘Hate How You Look,’ that appears to be something it’s not” and “a relentlessly melodic chorus.” 

“You wonder,” Ross shared with the outlet, “is it actually just going to be a mean song? Like, ‘I just hate how you look.’ And then you listen to it, you realize that it’s a guy that’s like, ‘Dang, she looks good,’ and you’re actually kind of complimenting her. I’m a fan of titles like that.” Read the full story HERE.

Adding to over 1 BILLION global career streams, the success of “Hate How You Look” and historic July chart-topper “Single Again” at country radio paves the way for a batch of fresh hits out Sept. 19 via Ross’ full-length debut album, Later Tonight. The 15-track collection promises to double down on the emotive, rock-tinged country that has defined Josh’s worldwide ascent. Pre-add / pre-save Later Tonight HERE.

This weekend, Ross will perform at the 2025 CCMA Awards, where he’s tied for most-nominated artist of the night with six nominations.
