Thomas Rhett’s latest song is written from the perspective of a guy who let the girl he loves get away because he didn’t tell her how he feels about her, and Thomas says, “This song was written out of a space of like if I had never told (my wife) Lauren how I felt about her, then more than likely I would have been invited to that wedding of her marrying somebody else. I probably wouldn’t have been as sad as the guy in the video but it probably would have still wrecked me. I think when you fall in love with somebody at a young age, that kind of thing sort of lingers with you for a long time.”
Spoiler alert: If you’ve seen the video for “Marry Me” then you know it ends with the girl showing up in her wedding dress at the diner where the guy who loves her has gone to drown in the misery of her marrying someone else. Some people wonder, did she run out on her wedding to find him, did she come find him after she said ‘I do’? Thomas says, “At the end I wanted to really just rein in that Nicolas Sparks moment, you know, and really give the viewers a positive ending. So I think she left the wedding and came and now they’re together, wherever they are, living in the Virgin Islands somewhere.”
“Marry Me” is the third song Thomas has released off his current Life Changes album.
