Bailey Zimmerman is ready to show the world what he's been working on, and this week he joined Katie Neal for the 'Superstar Power Hour' to offer fans a peek into his next project.

"I really wanna show people that I'm a real artist," Zimmerman explains, visibly stoked about his upcoming project. "I can do anything. I'm doing everything and I wanna show my growth and how hard I've been working to get my voice better, and my production better, and knowing what production is and how to do it. This whole record I helped do almost everything in the studio and I just want people to see my growth as an artist, and I want people to see, like, yo, I'm here to stay. I'm here to like put my name here. I've got a lot to say."

After two years of learning and meticulously sorting through songs, Bailey can't wait to show you where he's at. "This new album is just the last two years of my life and the album itself is where I'm at now, but it also jumps back to how I used to feel, some of the feelings that I didn't get to say on 'Religiously. The Album' are on this album. There's a couple of stories from back in like 2018 that I wrote about that I always wanted to say, but can never do it. And then I finally wrote the song that I loved. So it's a new era of me."

Filled with a few experimental songs and emotional moments that mean a lot to him, Bailey admits it's something new for the new era. "I've got this new sound that I'm really going after that's just something I haven't done quite before, I guess. I haven't done it like I'm doing it on this new record"

Bailey also gave us some insight into his two big collabs, "All The Way" with BigXthaPlug and "Backup Plan" with Luke Combs. The latter with Luke finally coming after months of waiting from a return text from the "Fast Car" singer to jump on the track.

"It's like the testament of the song, you know, the testimony is like, 'Man, there's so many times that I've had in the last 4 years of my being a Country artist, like falling on my face in front of a lot of people and disappointing a lot of people a lot, and learning from that is like the testament of 'Backup Plan,' is like, yo, I could have quit. There's a lot of people that are telling me you should, but I didn't. And I'd have never known. I'd have never had the song with Big X. I'd never had the song with Luke. You gotta keep going, and when people are telling you that you should quit, that's more of a reason to not quit. Don't quit, keep freaking going."
