Barely a month after dropping his sophomore LP A New Testament, Christopher Owens has unveiled a brand new track called "America."

The former Girls frontman grew up in Slovenia as part of the Children of God cult and the new track revisits his experience as a 16-year-old busking to raise money for a plane ticket to the United States — where he believes "everything's gonna be okay."

It's a sweet, sad look back at the singer's early life. Give it a listen below.
