Jet Jurgensmeyer Strips It Back With Heartfelt New Single “Red” — Watch His Exclusive Acoustic Performance

Jet Jurgensmeyer is taking his artistry to new heights with the release of his powerful new single, “RED.” Known for his standout roles on TV and film, Jet has been steadily building his presence in country music, and this latest track might just be his most meaningful yet. Released June 6 and now available on all major streaming platforms, “RED” is already becoming the fastest-growing song of his career.

Co-written with Ericca Latza and Kayleigh Clark, the song was born from Jet’s idea during a drive to their first-ever in-person writing session. Wanting to bring something meaningful to the table, Jet pitched the concept of using the color red as a symbol of the emotions and experiences that connect us all. What started as a single-word idea quickly grew into a full-bodied anthem about unity, compassion, and shared humanity.

“Seeing and hearing the original idea of RED come to life has been awesome! It’s a really special song to me,” Jet shares. “We tried to figure out a way to show the audience that we all aren’t really that different. I hope everyone can connect with the message in the world we live in today. It’s just wild to think that this is the fastest growing song I’ve ever had and I’m just so thankful for that.”

From red dirt on work boots to the red stripes of the American flag, the lyrics offer vivid imagery that grounds the track in both country tradition and emotional truth. Inspired by songs like Cody Johnson’s “Human,” Jet set out to write something that could bring people together. With “RED,” he’s done just that.

The track was recorded in Nashville at Farmland (Berry Hill) and produced by Jet alongside Dan Frizsell. While the studio version is impactful on its own, fans now have the chance to experience the song in its rawest form with an exclusive acoustic performance, filmed straight from Jet’s room. Just him and his guitar, the performance strips the song down to its core, making the message hit even harder.

“RED” follows Jet’s previous release, “Going Next,” a reflective, emotionally charged track co-written with Andrew Rizzuto. The song explores the evolution of a relationship and the question of what comes next, capturing the vulnerability and warmth that Jet has become known for as a songwriter. Both tracks build on the momentum from his 2024 album, THE RIDE: phase 2, a genre-blending project that pushed the boundaries of his sound while diving deep into themes of love, growth, and identity.

Beyond the music, Jet has an accomplished career as an actor, known for his role as “Boyd” on FOX’s Last Man Standing and as the voice of Pip the Penguin in Disney’s animated series T.O.T.S. His resume spans film and television, including projects like Adventures in Babysitting, Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie, Ferdinand, and American Sniper, along with guest roles on CSI, Grey’s Anatomy, Black-ish, and more. His talents also extend to voice acting, with standout roles in Bubble Guppies, Shimmer and Shine, and Special Agent Oso.

Whether he’s on-screen or behind the mic, Jet Jurgensmeyer is a storyteller at heart. And with “RED,” he’s delivered a message we all need to hear right now, one of empathy, connection, and common ground.

Stream “RED” now on all platforms, and don’t miss the exclusive acoustic performance that brings this special song to life in a whole new way.
