Thomas Rhett just scored his latest #1 song with “Life Changes,” and it turns out, it’s a song he almost didn’t put on his album.  According to Thomas, “I didn’t even think it was gonna make the record.  I kinda thought the record was finished, and then I did this retreat out at my farm with my dad and a couple writers and this song was just one that kinda fell out of the sky and it was kinda one of those ones that was meant be written.  And I was like, ‘Well, I think this song is a little too personal.  I mean, it has the word Uganda in it, for goodness sake, so there’s no way this is gonna be a thing.’”

Fortunately, Thomas was convinced to put it on his latest album, and he laughs when he says, “Then it became the name of the record and the name of the tour and now the name of the single.”

As specific as the lyrics to “Life Changes” are to Thomas’ life, he says, “I think when people think of this song, they think, like, that’s my life too.”
