Nate Smith will release his sophomore album, California Gold, on Oct. 4, featuring the new track “Fix What You Didn’t Break.”

Says Smith the new single: “I’ve always been a huge fan of big epic pop-rock songs of the 2000s. Bands like Lifehouse, Goo Goo Dolls, 3 Doors Down were all influences in my early teens. ‘Fix What You Didn’t Break,’ to me, feels like the perfect blend of 2000s rock and heartfelt country. I want to make love songs that cut deep but are still tough. I teamed up with the same crew that wrote ‘World On Fire’ with me: Ashley Gorley, Lindsay Rimes and Taylor Philips. This is easily one of my favorites that I’ve released. It’s a bit of a theme song for this new project.”

The 16-track album will also include previously-released track “Wish I Never Felt,” collaborations with Avril Lavigne and Alesso, along with the Gold-certified hit song “Bulletproof,” which scored Smith his third consecutive multi-week No. 1 on the Mediabase chart.

Smith also just kicked off the 16-city “Through The Smoke Tour,” which runs until Dec. 5 in Nashville.
