The Gay Country Song That’s Taking The World By Storm

Steve Grand’s gay country song ‘All-American Boy’ has become a viral sensation on YouTube.

After just one week, the music video has already passed 500,000 views and Grand has gathered over 30,000 followers on Facebook.

Steve Grand uploaded his first music video, for his gay country song/rock ballad ‘All-American Boy,’ onto YouTube last Tuesday. Exactly one week later, following a week-long viral surge, the video has now been watched over 500,000 times.

The video for ‘All-American Boy’ portrays a young gay man who misreads signals from an apparently straight ‘all-American’ male friend. On a day hanging out together, they end up going skinny-dipping and sharing a quick kiss, leaving Grand longing for more.

While ‘All-American Boy’ is told from the gay man’s perspective, Grand tells the Huffington Post that he knew its tale of unrequited love would resonate across lines of sexuality. Speaking about his decision to release a gay country song at this time, he tells BuzzFeed…

“I think that we’re at a time now where there’s no room to be anything but totally honest and totally who you are… I decided this is who I’m gonna be to the world. Just my true, raw self. I’m putting it all out there.”

Grand has no concrete plans for what’s next. Whatever it is, it won’t necessarily be country music, but more likely pop-rock. He says “All I know is that I’ve passed the point of no return, There’s no going back now.”

To mark the one-week anniversary of the video’s upload to YouTube, Grand posted a long message of reflection and thanks to his new fans on Facebook…

“Thank you for coming together, for each other and for all those that long and ache… all those that are brave and all those who want to make this world feel just a little less lonely… You have inspired me. We are going to take this world by storm. I love you guys.”
