This year's Country Radio Seminar has left fans with a lot of new music to look forward to, especially the unreleased number Parker McCollum shared during the week's events.

During a special showcase at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, McCollum took the iconic stage to perform a never-before-heard tune for the convention's attendees. Likely titled, 'Hope I'm Enough', the song offers fans a moment of vulnerability from the beloved artist as he ponders the sheer weight of loving someone and being loved in return.

In the song, he sings: "You'll always be plenty / I just hope that I'm enough."

The new song joins a recent slate of fresh music from the sensation as he continues to tease a return to his early sound.

Just before performing the unreleased number, the 'What Kinda Man' star told a quick-witted tale of the moment he met Ringo Starr, the former Beatle and celebrated drummer, just hours before.

"This is my fourth or fifth CRS and I still get a little bit nervous every time," he explained to the audience. "I don't know why. I think it's just because of the Ryman or whatever it is. Maybe it's because I met a Beatle this morning."

Earlier that day, he ran into Starr, who recently released his own country album, Look Up, and politely made introductions.

"I said, 'My name's Parker McCollum'," he shared, adding – with a put-on English accent – that the Beatle responded with, "I'm not going to remember that."

"I said, 'Yeah, not with that attitude'," he concluded to an uproar of laughter from the audience.

While Ringo Starr can't promise to remember Parker McCollum's name, we'll certainly be hard pressed to forget a song like the one he shared that afternoon.
