Introducing his next chapter of music today, Nashville-based singer-songwriter Ryan Hurd returns with “Glory.”

Written by Hurd with Mike Walker, Zach Abend, and Joey Hyde, with Hyde producing the track, “Glory.” is an uplifting battle cry. Weighing the consequences of a life without risk, Hurd’s raw tenor narrates:

If fear wins the day, then everyone loses

To hell with the pain and the bruises

Ships never sink if they stay in the harbor

If it never breaks, then hell what's a heart for

Might go down in flames, but baby what if we just

Land this thing and live to tell the story

Glory

"Glory. is a song of hope, a powerful anthem from someone standing on their own two feet again,” Hurd shares. “It feels like the right song to introduce my third album and I hope that listeners find a certain inspiration from what it says and how it sounds."

“Glory.” marks Hurd’s first release since signing with Combustion Masters, and follows sophomore album Midwest Rock & Roll. Listen to “Glory.” HERE, and watch the official lyric video HERE. Ryan is finalizing his third studio album now, with more new music slated for release throughout the back half of 2026.

On July 25, Hurd heads home to Michigan for Ryan Hurd & Friends, a night of live music benefitting the Lake Allegan Association, at Griswold Auditorium in Allegan. Find tickets HERE.
