Rascal Flatts’ latest single, “Yours If You Want It,” was an easy choice to release once they had it recorded.  Joe Don Rooney explains, “A guy named Jonathan Singleton wrote it, and Andrew Dorff.  That song was written like two years ago and we just got it pitched to us this past summer and it’s just awesome.  Uptempo  and fun, great lyric on that song, ‘Yours If You Want It.’  So we took it in and recorded it and out of like seven songs recorded so far that’s the one that just went to the top.”

“Yours If You Want It” is the lead single off of Rascal Flatts’ next album, which they hope to release by the summer.  The song has extra special meaning to the guys, because Andrew Dorff, one of the co-writers, who was beloved by the Nashville songwriting community, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 40, just before Christmas of this last year.
