— Polly (@pollygarcia0915) July 22, 2026Nance, who wrote the song with co-writers Brent McCollough and Donnie Napier, spoke about how the journey came together unexpectedly and why it resonates with listeners.
“I was sitting in my living room one night and grabbed my guitar and started mumbling out words and wrote the first verse,” he recalled, as cited by Billboard, before adding, “I had a [writing session] the next day, took it in and they loved it. It was like the song was meant to be, in a way. It’s really seemed to have helped people who deal with anxiety and stress.”
Initially released as a standalone single, Nance later included an updated version of “Keeps Me Sane" with country trio The Castellows on his debut studio album, Midwest Memoir, alongside the song’s solo version.
The song also achieved significant success on Billboard charts, peaking at No. 33 on the Hot Country Songs chart and No. 30 on the Emerging Artists chart.
In 2025, the publication also named him Country Rookie of the Month for September, recognizing his rapid rise in the music scene.
Amid a career-defining moment, Nance is set to headline his first-ever tour with Hudson Macready, Brendan Walter and Ian Harrison as his special guests.
In support of his debut album, the Midwest Memoir Tour kicks off on Oct. 28 in Oxford, Mississippi with stops in Tuscaloosa, Lexington, Asheville, Athens and more before concluding its 11-date run on Dec. 5 in Asheville, North Carolina.
