Brad Paisley new song features Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The country singer releases Friday his new track, “Same Here” in which he compares the humanity of Americans with those fighting for their lives in Ukraine.

Paisley compares the hopes, dreams, and fears of people living in both countries, because to him “there’s just no differences.”

“However you talk, whatever you think, from the songs that you sing to the drink that you drink, if you miss your mama and worry ‘bout your babies, and love each other like crazy, and want someone to share your hopes and fears, same here,” the lyrics read.

Paisley, a three-time Grammy-winner, told The Associated Press that he wrote the song after watching news broadcasts showing Russian troops invading Ukraine, saying he did not know the Ukrainian language but he could “recognize the tears.”

“You can put us in different places with different flags and different languages, but we have so many similarities,” he continued. “I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I didn’t sort of swing for the fence with things like this. For me, I’m happiest dealing with stuff as a songwriter that’s very true and very, very passionate. And sometimes I don’t know if you’d call it risky, but it’s more like it’s bigger than me.”
