At its heart, “4th of July” is a love song with fireworks—a nostalgic, feel-good country anthem that captures the excitement of young romance, summer nights, and the unforgettable magic of America’s favorite holiday. With vivid imagery, heartfelt storytelling, and a singalong-worthy chorus, the song blends the sparks of falling in love with the dazzling spectacle of fireworks lighting up the sky.
Featuring the talented Kate Szallar, “4th of July” delivers a perfect soundtrack for backyard barbecues, lakeside weekends, and holiday celebrations across the country. The chemistry between Pratt and Szallar brings an added warmth and authenticity to a song that celebrates both love and tradition.
The recording itself is a remarkable achievement. Acclaimed Nashville musician Adam Ernst not only produced the track but also performed every instrument heard on the recording. Ernst’s impressive résumé includes work on projects with Bailey Zimmerman, Mickey Guyton, and Chase Matthew, bringing a contemporary country sound and polished musicianship to Pratt’s latest release. His all-in-one approach gives “4th of July” a cohesive energy that perfectly complements the song’s celebratory spirit.

With “4th of July,” he delivers another crowd-pleasing track that is sure to resonate with listeners throughout the summer season and beyond.
The single will be available everywhere on July 3rd. We’d love to have you consider Gary Pratt for airplay, reviews, interviews, playlists, features, and holiday-themed coverage.
