Solid voice, but I have listened to this twice and don't remember anything about it.

This song is solid. I really liked Baby I Am from him, so wish he went with that one, but I still hope that he can score a hit with this.

This is very strong. Sounds like a #1 smash. I'm impressed because I think I've only heard 1 song previously by him and remember not really caring for it.
ETA: Now that I'm seeing Adam Craig's name as one of the co-writers, I can totally hear that in the song. It definitely sounds like something I could easily have heard him singing, lol.

confessing - listening to this for the first time today after its monstrous add date, and this is a big ol' hit.
Something about it reminds me of Nate Smith - maybe because they both have big vocal ranges - but this is good!

I agree this a very strong song.
Adam Craig written all over it in the melody and vocal arrangement. Adam can sing with the best of them, as can the other co-writer John Pierce (who had a record deal with RCA Nashville in 2005-2006).
A debut single impacting the week before CRS is always a high priority for the label too.

This guy has a fantastic voice and presentation, saw a video of him covering Alicia Keys and was kinda shocked. Very ‘right now’ type of vocals with that soaring chorus Luke Combs type of magic. Add on his extensive radio tour and the NEED for more black/POC artists breaking through on country radio, he’s one I’d put my money behind and root for. Very likeable and relatable in his interviews and banter. He’s got the Hot Country playlist behind him now too, he has a bright year ahead of him. Hope he gets some lucrative touring slots this year as well

Since debuting on Billboard this has made it as high as #46 within 15 weeks on the chart and this week is at #50. Curious to see how high this gets since there is very little fanfare with this song so far as I suspect this could turn into a Frank Ray situation (country radio likes him but the songs don't connect).

I'm surprised that the song is not connecting well outside of the radio. I encounter this song quite often when I'm shuffling Spotify country playlist, including being added to Spotify Hot Country playlist pretty early, so I was expecting it to debut on Hot Country Chart sooner. |

I hear this song on my local major market country station more than once a day. I’m surprised this really hasn’t taken off as I think it’s a solid debut single.

I’m kinda surprised folks are worried about this one as it feels like his label is behind him, the streams aren’t too bad either. This already has 3 times the streams Frank Ray and Shane Profitt had when they peaked on radio though those two didn’t have Hot Country playlisting. He has a fantastic voice to me.

This went recurrent on Mediabase and I imagine Billboard will follow suit shortly. Not too shocked this died in the high 30s and low 40s on the chart as while I do think this guy is talented, this song is kind of faceless for me personally.
