Driven by Adams' signature blend of memorable melodies and heartfelt songwriting, "51st STATE" is a tribute to the people, communities, and values that have shaped the country from coast to coast to coast. Released today (July 1), the song reflects a deep appreciation for Canada's identity and the connections that unite Canadians across regions, cultures, and generations. "I wanted to write something about Canada because Canada is home," said Adams. "There is more that binds us than divides us. This is a tribute to the pride and spirit of my fellow Canadians - the rest is just noise." Stream, download, or watch visualizer Now!

With "51st STATE," he continues that tradition, delivering a song that celebrates Canada's character, confidence, and enduring sense of community.

Here's the "In Canada" song that brother Dave, son Evan and I made a few years ago, along with a cast of dozens. The girl who climbs up on the dock at 3:53 just got married here at the cottage - can't get more Canadian than that!
