Brett Young is climbing the country airplay chart with his current single “You Didn’t.”

But now fans have a little extra music to listen to as Brett has released “Long Way Home” – his song that he wrote and recorded for the Mark Wahlberg movie Father Stu.

Brett shares the story behind how he got involved with the film, “I met Mark at a golf tournament a few months ago. We connected pretty quickly and he told me about an incredible project he was working on, and asked if I’d be up for writing a song to capture the spirit of the movie. Within a few hours I was flying home with Shay Mooney, Bear Rinehart and throwing ideas around and after watching an early screening the next day, we brought Jimmy Robbins in to help us put together something that we thought would be a perfect fit.”

“Long Way Home” was a perfect fit, and is a part of Father Stu – which arrives in theaters this Wednesday April 13th.

Brett and Mark recently reconnected at a special viewing of the movie.
