Despite being relatively new to the music industry, Noah Kahan has had more than his fair share of collaborations. It seems almost everyone wants to get the “Stick Season” singer on a duet, either live or in studio. Though he has a host of collaborations to choose from, find our three favorites, below.

3 of the Best Noah Kahan Collaborations
1. “She Calls Me Back” with Kacey Musgraves
“She Calls Me Back” is one of Kahan‘s most successful collaborations. His and Kacey Musgraves’ voices seem to perfectly align with one another. From shifts in point-of-view to an instantly catchy melody, this song will likely be in the forefront of Kahan’s career for a while.
Everything’s alright when
She calls me back, she calls me back
Lost for a long time
Two parallel lines
Everything’s alright when
She calls me back, she calls me back
2. “Mountain With A View/Stick Season” with Kelsea Ballerini
Stepping out of the studio, our next Kahan collaboration happened in a live setting. At the 2024 ACMs, Kahan teamed up with Kelsea Ballerini for a mashup of her “Mountain With A View” and his “Stick Season.” Both songs did wonders for each artist’s career. Naturally, the combination of them made an even bigger splash.
It’s 7 AM and I’m on a mountain with a view
I’m the only one, alone, at a table meant for two
Big Sur looks beautiful this morning
And I should be missin’ you, I should be missin’ you
And I love Vermont, but it’s the season of the sticks
And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
And it’s half my fault, but I just like to play the victim
3. “Northern Attitude” with Hozier
Any song with Hozier on it is likely to be a hit. The Irish singer-songwriter has one of those voices that very few people would take issue with. Kahan is similarly agreeable. “Northern Attitude” plays to both Hozier and Kahan’s strengths, creating a collaboration that is even bigger than the sum of its parts.
If I get too close
And I’m not how you hoped
Forgive my northern attitude
Oh, I was raised out in the cold
If the sun don’t rise
‘Til the summertime
