The album features collaborations with Tate McRae (“What I Want”), plus artists he has previously collaborated with including Eric Church (the new album features the song “Number 3 and Number 7”), HARDY (“Come Back as a Redneck”), ERNEST (“The Dealer”) and Post Malone (“I Ain’t Comin’ Back”), but many of Wallen’s solo songs are among his most intimate, such as “Superman,” a song devoted to his son Indigo Wilder.

Wallen co-wrote 22 songs for the album, which arrives on Big Loud/Mercury. He’s already released a handful of songs from the project, including the Billboard Hot 100-debuting “Love Somebody,” the Hot Country Songs chart-topping title track “I’m The Problem,” as well as songs including “Just in Case,” “I Ain’t Comin’ Back” and “Lies Lies Lies.”

I’m The Problem releases on the same day Wallen’s Sand in My Boots festival launches in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The three-day festival will feature an eclectic lineup of artists including Wallen, Brooks & Dunn, HARDY, Riley Green, Three 6 Mafia, Wiz Khalifa, Ella Langley, Treaty Oak Revival and more.

“We didn’t come up with this idea trying to fill a gap, but I believe that is what we have done,” Wallen told Billboard via email. “We created a festival that was centered around my country culture and that just so happens to include a variety of sounds. Sand in My Boots really was born out of building something that I was proud of, and also having a festival that these artists enjoy coming to.”

Wallen also noted in his interview with Billboard that yes, fans can expect to hear music from the new album featured during his set at the festival.
