Songfacts®:

  • Here, Zach Bryan is joined by Noah Kahan for a wistful ode to a past relationship. They recall cherished memories with their lover at "Sarah's Place," surrounded by friends and laughter over drinks.

    Well, ain't you gonna miss all of them wasted days?
    We'd sit around, drinkin' out at Sarah's place
    Don't come back, lover, I'm proud you're under the skyline
    We always knew you were the better half of our good times


    Bryan and Kahan clearly miss their ex, but also acknowledge she is better off without them. They're delighted she's now doing well, but their hearts ache with the memory of those golden days.
  • Later in the song, the woman calls Bryan and Kahan from the East Coast where she now lives. The phone conversation and the sight of their ex-lover's picnic chair in the yard prompts them to quit moping about the lost love. They sell their old Gibson guitar and use the proceeds to fly out to reunite with her.
  • "Sarah's Place" is a track from Zach Bryan's Boys Of Faith EP, a project he penned and produced himself. He surprise-released the record on September 22, 2023, just a month after his self-titled album.
  • Before the EP's release, Bryan hinted at his collaboration with Kahan, sharing a snapshot from the studio on September 14, 2023. "Jack, huge Noah guy," Bryan tweeted as his dog cozied up in Kahan's lap.
  • The careers of Zach Bryan and Vermont singer-songwriter Noah Kahan have followed similar paths. Known for their raw, honest songwriting, they've amassed loyal followings that sing along fervently at their shows. Both catapulted from cult status to mainstream thanks to hit singles like Bryan's "Something In The Orange" and Kahan's "Dial Drunk."

    On August 5, 2023, Kahan joined Bryan onstage at Iowa's Hinterland Festival, where they closed Bryan's set with the crowd-stirring anthem "Revival."
