Kane gained public attention after releasing his first EP 'Closer' in June 2015. After signing with RCA Nashville, he dropped the EP 'Chapter 1' in 2016 before releasing his first full-length album 'Kane Brown'. Soon, Kane became the first artist to have simultaneous #1s on all five main Billboard country charts. His second album titled 'Experiment' became his first #1 on the Billboard 200.
In 2020, Kane released 'Mixtape, Vol 1' which peaked at #15 on the Billboard 200. He dropped the singles 'Cool Again', 'Worldwide Beautiful', 'Be Like That' featuring Swae Lee and Khalid, and 'Worship You' from 'Mixtape, Vol 1'. In October 2020, 'Worship You' was sent to country radio as his second official single to that format off the EP.
