X2C (pronounced "ex to see") is the debut extended play (EP) by American country music singer Sam Hunt, released on August 8, 2014, by MCA Nashville.[1] Featuring his debut single, "Leave the Night On", and three other songs recorded for the album, the EP served as a preview for Hunt's then-forthcoming debut studio album Montevallo (2014).[2] It debuted in the top five of the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and the top 40 of the all-genre US Billboard 200.[3] The album's title is derived from the title of the track "Ex to See" and is a play on the homophone "ecstasy".[4]
