Randy Travis released “Horses In Heaven” on January 31, 2025. IFPI’s Global Music Report 2025 describes the track as AI-supported, while Apple Music credits Travis as vocalist and names Jon Randall and Matt Nolen as its songwriters. The public sources reviewed do not spell out the song’s specific AI process.

What the song is and when it came out

“Horses In Heaven” is a one-song Randy Travis single released January 31, 2025, according to Travis’s official announcement and its Apple Music listing. The official announcement says the song had been a year in the making and was written by Jon Randall and Matt Nolen.

The announcement links the subject to Travis’s long association with horses: it says he had been on horseback since infancy and that his late father, Harold Traywick, was a renowned North Carolina horse trainer. That background offers context for the song, but does not establish that its story is autobiographical.

Is “Horses in Heaven” an AI song?

IFPI’s Global Music Report 2025 identifies “Horses in Heaven” as AI-supported. That description is the clearest published characterization in the sources available here. The report does not provide a track-specific account of how AI was used on this song, so details about its model, vocal workflow, or recording process should not be assumed.

IFPI gives a more detailed account of the earlier Randy Travis song “Where That Came From,” released in 2024 with AI assistance. For that project, Warner Music Nashville described using 42 original Travis vocal recordings and a recording by country singer James Dupré as a starting point for AI-assisted vocal work. Those details apply to “Where That Came From”; they are not confirmed production details for “Horses in Heaven.” The earlier release is also discussed in a 117 Entertainment Group announcement.

In the IFPI report, Warner Music Nashville co-chair and co-president Cris Lacy described the project this way: “I think everybody had so much ownership and felt such a responsibility. This isn’t generative AI. This isn’t a computer creating something. But this is a bunch of humans who are using a tool to help someone who has a disability and still wants to live their life’s purpose.” This is Lacy’s characterization of the project, not a general technical definition of AI music.

What Travis said before release

In a statement reproduced by his official site and attributed to his social media on the day before release, Travis said: “Tomorrow’s song release, “Horses In Heaven” feels like a timely reminder of God’s love and mercy and I hope it brings some comfort to those of us hurting through these tragedies.” The official announcement says his team chose to proceed with the release and promotion during a difficult week, framing the song as a hoped-for comfort to people affected by that week’s losses.
