"Stick Season" is the title song of Noah Kahan's 2022 album, the lead single that went out in July of that year. Kahan wrote it alone and produced it with Gabe Simon, who fills in the background with banjo, guitar and percussion while Kahan plays electric guitar and sings, and Ryan Hewitt mixed it. It's folk music with a stubborn streak, sung like a confession.
At home it did modest business at first. Then it caught fire on TikTok, Olivia Rodrigo covered it on BBC Radio 1, and suddenly it was number one in the UK, Ireland, Australia, the Netherlands and Flanders, and a top-10 hit in Canada, New Zealand and the United States.
