NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 11, 2025) – Today, rising country musician Sam Williams has “No Problem” channeling all the feels with his new sultry song – listen HERE. Accompanying the song is a striking black-and-white music video that beautifully captures the essence of young, soft, queer love. The visual follows Sam and his love interest in fleeting, intimate moments of stolen glances and quiet laughter shared between them. Watch HERE.
Penned by Sam Williams, Nick Bailey, Michael Tyler, and Noah West, the song marks a striking evolution in Sam’s sound, blending an R&B-pop groove with his signature country twang. Sam’ssoulful, velvety vocals shine over a smooth, rhythmic beat and a lush, pulsing arrangement as he glides through the laundry list of problems he has – tequila burns, two-lane curves, the morning sun –before confidently confessing, “I ain’t got a problem loving you, no / I ain’t got a problem in this room, no / I don’t ever wanna leave this bed / Love it when you’re layin’ on my chest / I ain’t got a problem, baby / I ain’t got a problem loving you”
Of the track, Samsays, “I thought it’d be fun to make a song that had an R&B-pop vibe to it because that’s what I grew up listening to. ‘No Problem’ is a confident, romantic love letter that embodies the energy of Act II: unapologetically honest, gutsy, and layered with complex emotions.”
“No Problem” and the previously released title track “COUNTRYSTAR” will bothbe featured on Sam’sforthcoming project Act II: COUNTRYSTAR, due for release on July 11 – pre-save HERE. The vibrant and daring seven-song project underscores Sam’s versatile songwriting skills.
