Country singer-songwriter John PayCheck has released “Texan One Day,” the fourth single from his upcoming third studio album, Better Plan, due November 27 via HorseBite Entertainment. The track, available digitally starting October 9, is a fiddle-and-steel country song celebrating Texas, written as PayCheck prepares to relocate to the state.
The song follows three previously released tracks from the album: title track “Better Plan,” released August 14; “Battles You Never Knew,” released September 11; and an earlier single. PayCheck, a U.S. Army combat veteran who served in Afghanistan, wrote “Battles You Never Knew” to question how military sacrifice is portrayed by artists without firsthand combat experience.
Better Plan was recorded at Gnome Studios in Nashville and produced by Bill McDermott, whose credits include George Strait, Tim McGraw and Brad Paisley. PayCheck, son of country artist Johnny PayCheck, previously earned Grammy consideration in the Best Traditional Country Album category for his album More Days Behind. He has remaining 2026 tour dates in the Carolinas, Alabama and Texas in support of the new record.
