Ain't in It for My Health is the upcoming second studio album by American country music artist Zach Top. The album will be released on August 29, 2025, via Leo33. It is Top's second album to be produced by Carson Chamberlain.
Background
[edit]On June 9, 2025, Top announced the album's title and release date via Instagram,[1] following months of teases and clues via his social media accounts.[2][3]
Leading up to the album's release, Top toured both as a headliner with his Cold Beer & Country Music Tour and as an opener for Dierks Bentley's Broken Branches Tour.[4] Top added more tour dates for his own tour following the official announcement of the album.[5][6]
Singles
[edit]"Good Times & Tan Lines," the album's lead single, was released on June 9, 2025, after being performed live for the first time the night prior at Nissan Stadium during CMA Fest.[1] It was written by Top alongside his producer Carson Chamberlain and Wyatt McCubbin, who wrote "There's the Sun" and "Sounds Like the Radio" on Top's first album, Cold Beer & Country Music.[7]
The single was described as reminiscent of the "mammoth summer songs" from Alan Jackson, stated Saving Country Music's Trigger Coroneos.[8] It was also named by Jessica Nicholson of Billboard as one of five "must-hear new country songs" alongside songs by Hailey Whitters and Old Dominion.[7] Nicholson, like Coroneos, added that it was "strongly Alan Jackson-coded."[7]
