Brett Young is an American country music singer-songwriter from Orange County, California.[1] Young was a college baseball pitcher but took up songwriting after getting injured.[2] His self-titled debut EP, produced by Dann Huff, was released by Republic Nashville on February 12, 2016.[3][4] The lead single, "Sleep Without You", was released on April 11.[3] Young wrote the song with Justin Ebach and Kelly Archer.[5] Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song a favorable review, writing that "Young’s R&B influences come out in the sincerity and warmth of his delivery, not the sonic nature of this mostly acoustic jam."[6] The music video was filmed in Malibu, California and directed by Shane Drake.[7] It co-stars Miss USA 2015 Olivia Jordan.[8]
