On Oct. 3, the "I Remember Everything" singer, 29, took to Instagram with a teaser for the upcoming track, writing, "The fading of the red white and blue."
In the clip, Bryan sang, "Didn’t wake up, dead or in jail / Some out of town boys been given a cell / I’ve got some bad news, woke up missing you / My friends are all degenerates but they’re all I got."
Although Bryan disabled the comments on his Instagram post, folks went elsewhere on social media to share their reactions.

Another X user declared, "Zach Bryan just put out a very un American anti-ice song effectively ending his country music career," as a third X user echoed, "I got some 'Bad News' for Zach Bryan. He just tanked his own country music career."
A fellow country music singer, John Rich of the duo Big & Rich, also skewered Bryan on X, writing, "Who's ready for the Zach Bryan-Dixie Chicks tour? Prob a huge Bud Light sponsorship for this one."

— John Rich?? (@johnrich) October 6, 2025On Reddit, one user praised Bryan's message, pointing out, "I am just glad there are finally musicians taking a stance instead of being quiet because they might hurt their brand or whatever. It's been a while since we have had that in music period."
Someone else on Reddit shared, "'The fading of the red, white, and blue…’ That hits hard."
Regardless of which political party fans and critics of Bryan's message in "Bad News" were from, many were surprised by his take. In February, Bryan was photographed meeting President Donald Trump at Super Bowl LIX. He even briefly posted and deleted a snap with the POTUS on his Instagram Stories.
