COJO Music / Warner Music Nashville Platinum recording artist Cody Johnson is releasing the title track off his sophomore major-label release Human The Double Album to country radio next month, impacting June 6. “Human,” written by Tony Lane and Travis Meadow, was triumphed by Bob Oermann in Music Row, “I didn’t think it was possible to follow a perfect performance like “Til You Can’t”, but this (“Human”) stunning meditation on frailty and mistakes is just as breathtaking. This man is dusted with the glitter of superstardom.” Billboard praised it as a “gut-punch, heart-on-your-sleeve vulnerability” and People Magazine said the song is “a vulnerable ballad about mistakes and forgiveness.” “Human” is the second single to be released off the 18-song project following the highly successful two-week #1 hit “’Til You Can’t.”
Johnson introduced “Human” before he performed the song at the iHeart Music Festival in Austin on May 7, “One thing we all have in common not just in the U.S. but across the world; no matter how you feel about politics, no matter how you feel about religion, no matter what race you are, no matter how much money you have in your bank account, whether you dress like me or like you do, one thing we all have in common is the fact we’re Human. We are all the same. We’ve gone through a lot in this country the last two years. We are all doing this together. We all have struggles even though they are different. This is why I chose this song to be the next single.” Bobby Bones declared, “Cody Johnson the winner of #iHeartCountry2022 Festival for his epic performance.”
“’Til You Can’t” is now certified Platinum by RIAA, bringing his career certifications total to 14, further cementing the tremendous impact of the “roaring barn burner about seizing today, living with gusto and chasing your dreams no matter how big” (MusicRow) song. Johnson won one of his two recent CMT Music Awards (Male Video of The Year) for the tune’s official music video and he performed “’Til You Can’t” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The Kelly Clarkson Show. To date the song has logged nearly 275 million global streams.
Johnson has added additional headline shows to his calendar this fall. Since launching his touring schedule in January he has tallied 17 sold out dates, including several highlighted below. This weekend’s shows include his guest appearance on Luke Combs’ stadium concert at Empower Field at Mile High, home of the Denver Broncos.
