CURRENT SINGLE: “Country Again”
Thomas Rhett (TR) has often referred to his wife Lauren as a calming presence in his life, since he has a tendency to get anxious or worry sometimes, and it turns out Lauren’s ability to keep Thomas calm helped lead him to write his latest single, “Country Again.”
When the pandemic started, Thomas says, “The first 30, 40 days of quarantine I was freaking out cause I did not know what to do. You know, I was like, ‘We’re supposed to be in rehearsal. We’re supposed to be on the road. We’re supposed to be doing this.’”
That’s when Lauren stepped in and told TR, “‘Honey, I think you have to just realize that you can’t do this right now. So, maybe why don’t you just take a step back and live some life and then go try to write again.’”
If you follow Thomas Rhett on Instagram, you know he got out hiking and fishing and spending a lot of time outdoors during the pandemic, and he says, “I literally didn’t write a song for almost two months, which is the longest I’ve ever gone, I think, in my whole life. And when I came back, the very first song I wrote was ‘Country Again’.”
“Country Again” is the title track off Thomas’ latest project, and it’s now sitting at #5 on the charts.
