Thomas Rhett’s latest single, “Craving You,” is a monster song that is steadily moving up the charts, but it turns out, the song could have ended up either not happening, or becoming something completely different.  Thomas says, “The funny story about ‘Craving You’ is actually, a guy named Julian Bunetta and a guy named Dave Barnes were in Nashville and I was supposed to actually join this co-write one day but I got sick.  And so Julian and Dave happened to write this song called ‘Craving You.’  And I remember Julian sending me the track and just immediately just being blown away by the song, blown away by the longing-ness of the story of how this guy is just craving this girl and every time they leave each other they can’t wait to get back together with each other.”

Thankfully the song all worked out and became the cool tune that it is, but Thomas says, “Who knows if I’d been in the room that day if we would have written this song, but it’s kind of a cool story either way.”
