The country star's song "Think As You Drunk" has re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 94, giving the Alabama singer another major chart moment as his career reaches a new high. The song previously peaked at No. 91 and has now spent three weeks on the chart.
The timing also comes as Green prepares to release his fourth studio album, That's Just Me, on Sept. 18, 2026. "Think As You Drunk" is one of the songs set to appear on the new record.
The song has also gained attention because of its connection to the late country star Toby Keith. Green said the song was inspired by the kind of fun, rowdy country music that Keith was known for. The track ends with a sample of Keith singing his 2005 hit "As Good as I Once Was."

Green said the song was written with Erik Dylan, Wyatt McCubbin and Jessi Alexander in about 20 minutes. After hearing the finished song, Green's team played it for Keith's manager and family. According to Green, they saw it as a tribute to the late singer and wanted his vocal included.

The song's chart return comes as Green continues to keep fans talking with new music and a busy schedule.
In the clip, Green plays an increasingly drunk version of himself who causes trouble around the bar. At one point, he mistakes his corgi, Carl, for the bartender. He also shows off some awkward dance moves while the people around him try to avoid getting involved.
The Toby Keith connection is also included in the video. Bar patrons sing the lyrics from "As Good as I Once Was" while the camera shows a photo of Keith holding a red Solo cup.
Green made his acting debut in 2026 as Garrett in Marshals, appearing in a four-episode arc. His character was later killed off after five episodes, leaving some fans disappointed. During a July tour stop in Utah, Green brought actress Ash Santos, who played Andrea Cruz, onstage for a special moment that connected back to their time on the show.
His growing profile has also led to more attention around his personal life. During an appearance on the This Past Weekend w/Theo Von podcast, Green said his busy career makes dating difficult.
He explained that his life on the road and his fame make it harder to meet someone naturally. He also said he feels anxious when people recognize him in public and give him attention outside of his performances.
