The song, released in December 2023, has quickly gained momentum, amassing nearly one million streams on Spotify in just three weeks. Chris, who only released his first song in August 2023 has also garnered a growing fan base on social media, a testament to the resonating impact of his powerful lyrics and ability to tell personal stories that resonate with country music fans.

"No Flag Higher" encapsulates the essence of patriotism and the unwavering spirit of those who fought for the United States. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a weary veteran in a small-town bar, reflecting on the memories of comrades who gave their all for their country. The chorus declares: "Ain't no flag flies higher, than the one they raise, Ain't no sacrifice greater, than the one they pay, Ain't no love that's stronger, than the kind of love they gave, For the land of the free, thank God for the brave." Chris says, "those who lost a husband, wife, son, daughter, mother, father, or friend in combat understands exactly the meaning behind the lyrics".
