Foster is getting a head start on the weekend with his new single "as long as i have you."

The emerging Nashville-based artist released the hypnotic cut on Thursday, reflecting on a "memory" of young love.

“‘as long as i have you’ is the reminiscence of a fictional story," says Foster. "There were times in which I was so emotionally involved it felt as if it were my current reality. Playing with the idea of being in a teenage relationship was very nostalgic for me, not because I was in one, but because I had always wanted to be. Because of these two emotional ties, the creative process was very fluid."

He adds: "Considering the story is fictional, I felt liberated to push it in any direction I wanted and create my own rollercoaster of emotions, which is something I’m not used to when it comes to writing. It felt very freeing.”
