Background
Flow State features ten covers of classic soft rock songs and one original song, "We Go Back", which features Michael McDonald. Aside from McDonald, the album also features collaborations with Little Big Town and John Mayer.
Urban first mentioned making a yacht rock album during the Country Radio Seminar in Nashville, Tennessee, when he stated, "It's the first time I've done an album of covers. There is one original on the record. It's a thematic record...yacht rock songs. You think I'm kidding? I'm not kidding." He described his inspiration for the album as coming from the original intent of yacht rock as a genre: "music created as an antidote to stress, built to uplift."
The album was officially announced on 29 April 2026, alongside the release of the lone original, "We Go Back" featuring Michael McDonald, and Urban's version of "Summer Breeze".
Flow State was recorded at Urban's studio, The Sound (formerly The Tracking Room), in Nashville, where the project began with just recording one or two songs for fun without the intention of releasing them, before evolving into an album full of material.
