Who released the 2016 country song "Heaven"?

Kane Brown released the 2016 country song “Heaven.” It first appeared on the December 2, 2016 release of his self-titled debut album, before becoming a major single through the album’s deluxe edition.

Written by Matthew McGinn, Lindsay Jerkins and Shy Carter, “Heaven” is a romantic song about finding a relationship so wonderful that it feels like paradise. Brown’s warm, contemporary country style helped the track reach listeners well beyond traditional country audiences.

The song was formally promoted as a single in 2017 and became one of Brown’s signature hits. It topped Billboard’s Country Airplay chart and was associated with a major career milestone: Brown became the first artist to simultaneously top all five main Billboard country charts.

A common mix-up is the release date. The song was available in 2016, but its best-known single campaign and official video arrived in 2017. “Heaven” is also distinct from similarly titled songs by Bryan Adams, Los Lonely Boys and other artists.
