Background

[edit]

Wetmore released "Wind Up Missin' You" in 2024, which became his first number one hit on Billboard's Country Airplay and helped him gain recognition.[3] In February 2025, he announced the release of his debut studio album, What Not To, followed the next day by the single "3,2,1".[4] In March of the same year, "Casino" was released as the last promotional single from the album.[5][6]

Critical reception

[edit]

Entertainment Focus' James Daykin described the album as introspective, and said it "combining dramatic storytelling with slick modern country production, delivering a record that feels both deeply personal and widely relatable".[7]
