Carly Pearce knew instantly that she wanted to record her new song, “Closer to You,” the first time she heard it.” Besides the fact that it’s a fun, flirty song, Carly says, “It made every part of my heart go directly into my relationship, which I think you want a song to make you feel something and you want to be able to connect to that. And it’s such a country lyric that paints just this beautiful picture to me. And the melody was very much something that I could hear myself singing immediately, and just all of the nuances of my voice that make me who I am, I could hear ‘em on this one.”
“Closer to You” is all about wanting to get closer to the one you love, and with Carly Pearce often gone and on the road, and her fiancée, Michael Ray, traveling for his own career, Carly says this song is really representative of how she feels in her own relationship.
