Rascal Flatts latest single, “I Like the Sound of That,” is all about being with the one you love and getting away from the hectic pace of life. Joe Don Rooney says, “It’s just a really, really sexy, cool way to say, ‘Girl, I’m tired of everything I got around this place and it’s busy out there in the streets and it’s loud. I just want to be at your place making the sounds we make together cause the love we making,‘ you know, and so it’s all about that. It’s just about being with your girl and letting the rest of the world just fade away. It’s awesome.”
“I Like the Sound of That” is off of Rascal Flatts’ latest album, Rewind.
