Zach Top Announces Sophomore Record ‘Ain’t In It For My Health,’ Releases New Summer Anthem “Good Times & Tan Lines”
Is there anything better to wake up to on a Monday morning? I don’t think so.
Zach Top is blessing our ears with some exciting news and a brand new single. Zach Top is blessing fans with a lot of new music and soon as he announced his sophomore album Ain’t In It For My Health, which is due everywhere on August 29th.
“The subtle hints and cryptic announcements are over. Your new favorite summer banger, ‘Good Times & Tan Lines,’ is out now! And if that’s not enough, my second record, ‘Ain’t In It For My Health,’ will be out 8/29. You’ll be able to pre-order and pre-save it this Friday, 6/13.”

Top has been teasing this record and the lead single, which was also released today, for quite some time. At the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, he shared that he was in the studio finishing up a new album, and noted they were planning for a summertime release.
“I just went in and tracked a few more songs to round out the second record. So we got that finished up and are getting it mixed right now. It’ll come out at some point in the summer. I’m not sure exactly when yet, but there will be a new record coming this summer.”
At the end of May, he told a Pennsylvania crowd that the record would hit streaming platforms and record shops everywhere in August before performing “Good Times & Tan Lines.” Top also shared with that crowd the release date of the lead single, but given he was looking toward his record label rep to make sure those dates were correct, I fully intended for him to be a day or two off.
“So June 9th… It will be included on my next record, which is coming out in August. I’m excited about that as well, and hope you all are ready for new music. I’m ready to have some out for you.
And we will lead it off with this. Two things I love just about as much as anything in the world is ‘Good Times & Tan Lines.”

But sure enough, Zach Top was spot on with the dates he shared, giving fans “Good Times & Tan Lines” this morning. Zach Top has been previewing this single on the road for quite some time, and fans shared very positive feedback, making this a highly anticipated release. The summertime song has a “Chattahoochee” feel as he sings about spending time at the local river or lake.
“FM on, coolers on the ground
Dig through the ice and pass ‘em around
Waitin’ on the hot sun to go down
Little skinny dippin’ when the moon comes out
That sounds like—
Good times and tan lines
Cold beer and summer nights
That was all there was to life
Good times and tan lines
Good, good times and tan lines”
Building off that nostalgic ’90s country feel he established from his debut record, Cold Beer & Country Music, Zach Top keeps that feeling going into this next music chapter. The song even features a beefy tele lick reminiscent of the one found in Alan Jackson’s “Chattahoochee,” and many other ’90s country anthems, but it perfectly captures that same summertime feeling that Alan gave country music fans way back in 1992.
Like Alan Jackson once said, everyone has their own “Chattahoochee,” and “Good Times & Tan Lines” might be this generation’s go-to summer hit.
Turn this one all the way up.
