Created specifically for the next generation — kids! — the new album features songs from the country music stars and is set to drop next month from Platoon.
"Having two daughters, I hear a lot of children's music," Young, 42, tells PEOPLE. "This one immediately felt different. It felt special. I'm honored to be a part of it."
Young's lead track, "ILY (Family)" — which PEOPLE exclusively premieres here — has feel-good rhymes that are sure to have the entire family singing along.
"We go together like blue skies on sunny days/like a picture on a page/like PB&J," Young sings.

Mickey Guyton; Brett Young; RaeLynnMoms like Guyton and RaeLynn were also drawn to the project.
"When I first got approached about being a part of a children's country album, I jumped at the opportunity," Guyton, 39, tells PEOPLE about her song, "This Is My Home." "As a mother to my baby boy [Grayson Clark, 2], I believe more than ever that our children are the future. It is so important that we set them up for success, love and happiness; I think this album is a great start to doing just that."
