I find the vocal on This Is It very pleasing. He has a terrific voice and knows how to use it. This is a song written from the heart and doesn't sound the least bit amateurish to me. Scotty's co-writers on the song are Frank Rogers and Aaron Eshuis whom are by no means amateurs. This is another great story telling song and paints a perfect picture for the listener. The immediate response to the song has been very positive already reaching #23 iTunes US this morning.

I really want to like Scotty's music, because he seems like a really nice guy, and obviously has a really great voice. But I am a bit surprised at the love fest over this song since I find it a bit cliche and the intonation also grates me. I have nothing against lyrics that are simple and heartfelt, but "This is it, this is now, This is what I've been talking about, Looking out, can't you see forever, You take my hand, just take it in" - that is just generic and bland to me. If it's not going to be a lyrical wonder it's not a problem, as long as the metric works, or the singing makes it catchy/memorable. Or it is a original idea. This song fills zero of those boxes and while it is pleasant it's also very boring and forgettable to me. I will try to listen to it a few more times, but so far it's a pass for me...

Song is good enough, just think "In Between" or "Home In My Mind" would have been a better choice as 2nd single. Still pulling for it to do well.

Impact date is April 23rd from AllAccess. Wow, that seems like a long wait. I would've thought they'd have this go for adds in the next 2-3 weeks, tops.

Maybe they want "Five More Minutes" to fall down the charts a bit more before this song goes for adds. Because Scotty McCreery is competing with himself with this song and the recurrent Airplay of his first #1. If the airplay level for the recurrent song is pretty low or lower it might give this song a bit more interest from radio.

It's almost out of the Top 10 now (on the rolling chart on Kworb.net it's at #9) and has started falling at decent clip, so waiting 6 weeks for the adds date of his next single definitely seems like a bit of an excessive wait. I'm sure by the time the adds date comes that a lot of stations will have already picked this one up. But it won't matter because I'm sure it'll be another big hit for him though regardless.

It already felt like the release date was far out from the peak of "Five More Minutes" and now they pushed it back another 2 weeks.

I would've gone with another single choice for the summer, then followed it with this one. Who knows though!

Personally yeah I would have gone with "Boys From Back Home" which sounds like a Summer smash. Then this one. But it's what we got so hopefully it'll be a big hit. It'll probably be the Fall anyway before its making a real move on the top 40 or top 30.

Debuts at #57 on BB over a month after it impacted radio.

I'm surprised this is off to such a slow start. I knew "Five More Minutes" was going to get a lot of recurrent play, so that's probably a factor in why they pushed back the release of the follow-up as much as they did, but I definitely expected this one to get going a bit faster than it has.

Great music video for a great song. This really needs to hurry up and start taking off at country radio. I need this one to be another big hit for him.

This will break into the top 40 tonight at #38 with a good bullet. Hopefully it'll be getting a move on up the chart a bit faster now.

This music video has a lot of views for only 3 weeks. 6.8 million on YouTube. I know it's his wedding in the video. But I'm surprised that the curiosity/buzz didn't die down after the 1st week of release especially since the song hasn't hit Top 40 yet.

Those who don't follow him close have no idea! That's how he's able to headline his own tours and not open for anyone. He plays some pretty good size places.

I know he has a big fanbase & many are diehard fans. I still think this is his fastest viewed music video since the release. Correct me if I'm wrong on that. It could be that this music video "speaks to more people" since it's very personal to the artist. However, I would think "Five More Minutes" would have the same effect & it also had a very personal music video.

A big jump up into the Top 30 as "This Is It" moves from #39 to #30 on this week's Billboard Country Airplay Chart.

Even in the days of faster turnover a jump this big inside the top 40 was impressive. Now it seems practically unheard of except for A-listers.

Glad it finally took a nice jump like that. It should've already been climbing the charts much faster than it has given the momentum he had coming off a big #1 in FMM and considering "This Is It" has been selling/streaming decently well. The signs have been there for this to eventually turn into a hit, but it's good to see it picking up the pace a bit, finally.

I will always say Scottie McCreery has a great voice and seems like a very nice guy. That being said the chorus on this song feels so simply written and so basic. I do not know what it is but I have always found the writing on his songs basic and boring. Good for him for making that big jump on the charts, I certainly was not expecting this to out of nowhere have a great week.

This remains one of my favorite songs currently on country radio and I’m glad to see it might be finally taking off. Hoping this is another hit for Scotty.
