History and content

edit

"Different 'Round Here" was originally recorded by Riley Green for his 2019 debut album Different 'Round Here. He wrote the song with Randy Montana and Jonathan Singleton. Although the original version of the song was never released as a single, Taste of Country writer Grace Lenehan Vaughn noted that it was a "fan favorite". In late 2023, Green re-recorded it as a duet with Luke Combs and issued it as a single from his 2023 album Ain't My Last Rodeo.[1] Madeleine O'Connell of Country Now similarly noted the song's success on streaming platforms prior to its release as a single.[2] Vaughn describes the song as "preaching some of the traditional values of small town America".[1]
