Obsessed is the upcoming second studio album recorded by American country music duo Dan + Shay, scheduled to be released by Warner Bros. Nashville on June 3, 2016.[1] The lead single, "From the Ground Up", was released in February 2016.[2][3]

Background

In 2015, Dan + Shay experienced a career breakthrough when "Nothin' Like You", the third single from their chart-topping debut album, reached number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.[4] That same year, they began work on their second album. The duo told country music blog The Boot that they have grown as artists and songwriters in the time since completing their first record but didn't stray too far from what fans have come to expect from them on Obsessed.[5] They also noted that they had more time to work on this album, and as a result they are "really, really proud" of the music they created.[5] Obsessed became available for pre-order on April 29, 2016.[6]

The album's title is derived from the final track and was inspired by the duo's fans. Following the release of "From the Ground Up", Dan + Shay noticed fans using the hashtag "#obsessed" in relation to the song, and they ultimately decided the descriptor was appropriate for the album.[7] "We're even more obsessed with making music for our fans than they are to hear it," explained vocalist Shay Mooney.[7]

"All Nighter" was previously recorded by American country music trio Lady Antebellum for the deluxe edition of their sixth studio album, 747 (2014).[8]
