Brad Paisley Releases New Song, “Same Here,” Featuring Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy


On the 1-year anniversary of the war’s start, Brad Paisley is releasing a new song called “Same Here,” featuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

While the lyrics do not mention Ukraine specifically, the song ends with Paisley and Zelenskyy in conversation, recorded during a Zoom call. Zelenskyy talks about Ukrainians’ desire for freedom, adding “There is no distance between our two countries in such values.”

Royalties for the song will be donated to United24 to help build housing for thousands of displaced Ukrainians whose homes were destroyed in the war.

“I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I didn’t sort of swing for the fence with things like this,” Paisley said. “For me, I’m happiest dealing with stuff as a songwriter that’s very true and very, very passionate. And sometimes I don’t know if you’d call it risky, but it’s more like it’s bigger than me.”
