It was released on January 28, 2019, as the first single from Young's eighth studio album Famous Friends.

[1][2] It was originally intended to be the title track, but the album's release was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to it being retitled to Famous Friends.

[5] The music video for "Raised on Country" was directed by Peter Zavadil and premiered on March 15, 2019.

It shows Young and his band going into a recording studio to record the song, while the tension and pulses from the song create a strange windstorm all over Nashville and around Young and his band.

It was filmed at the 650 AM WSM studios inside the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center.
