CURRENT SINGLE: “Lady”
When Brett Young wrote his latest single, “Lady” with Ross Copperman and Jon Nite, he didn’t start out with a goal of winning brownie points with his wife and daughter, but he says, “I knew once the song was written that I was gonna get credit for this song in two different stages. I knew that I was gonna immediately get credit from my wife for a love song, and then years down the road, when my daughter was old enough to understand, I’d get credit for that one too.”
The payoff with his wife was immediate. “Taylor’s reaction was very sweet. It made her happy. She cried tears of joy, so I took it as a good thing.”
Getting the love for the song from his daughter will take a little longer, since she’s only 15-months old. But Brett says, “It’s been really special for (my wife and I) to be able to slowly watch Presley – she’s starting to recognize my voice and my songs, and that song specifically. So I think I’m gonna get that double-dip credit with Presley here, pretty soon.”

“We didn’t do it on purpose this way, but I knew once the song was written that I was gonna get credit for this song in two different stages. I knew that I was gonna immediately get credit from my wife for a love song, and then years down the road, when my daughter was old enough to understand, I’d get credit for that one too, so … Taylor’s reaction was very sweet. It made her happy. She cried tears of joy, so I took it as a good thing. And it’s been really special for both of us to be able to slowly watch Presley, she’s starting to recognize my voice and my songs, and that song specifically. So I think I’m gonna get that double-dip credit with Presley here, pretty soon.”
