Khalid has crossed genre lines for his new remix of “Saturday Nights,” which features rising country star Kane Brown.
Brown contributes a new second verse and vocal harmonies to the Suncity track, which is otherwise sonically unchanged. It may seem unexpected for Khalid to invite a country artist for a remix, but the R&B artist did grow up in Texas, and has said that he in fact wrote “Saturday Nights” as a country track:
when I wrote Saturday Nights, I definitely wrote it as a country song hahaha this is correct https://t.co/1Zo8D3aeLE

But fans shouldn’t expect Khalid to make a real foray into the genre anytime soon.
no ? I’m not a country artist https://t.co/TgRVV04vel
