I wanted to be kind of uplifting and kind of easy feeling. Tenpenny adds, “I think I didn’t want to get too serious with the song and start talking about stuff like that. And I wish I would’ve had more time with them, spoken more,” says Tenpenny. There’s a lot of people in life that have moved on to whatever’s next. “I can go back in my phone right now and look at all the ones we didn’t put in it, but there’s a lot of stuff here. While writing the song, Tenpenny had compiled a list of other regrets and mistakes to possibly include, but he wanted the song to be as uplifting as possible.

And I’ll never forget that.” When Tenpenny was thinking of his own bigger mistakes in life, that memory came to mind.
He continues, “He was so nice and so kind, just going out of his way to make us, we were absolutely nothing, no reason to even care, just make us feel special.
But I never got to drink it with him,” Tenpenny mournfully recalls. And after the show, he came up to me and he gave me this bottle of whiskey, and we talked and we just kept up ever since then. The sound that night, the speakers, everything in the place, everything went wrong.
It was my first real experience getting to know him and talk to him. “When we were just kind of starting out, we had a show in Alabama with him where I kind of got to know him.

So when I was on the way to that writing and I heard it, it just kind of popped in my head that, hey, what if we wrote a song talking about when you break up with somebody that says, ‘Oh, well, you’ll never forget me. “I haven’t heard a song like that in a while. Maybe she had a story with it back in the day, who knows? But she would always sing that song, so that would always be stuck in my head,” Tenpenny told Music Mayhem. Hearing Simon’s classic hit brought back memories of listening to it with his mom when he was growing up. “Bigger Mistakes” Was Inspired By Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain” The empowering song describes how a breakup didn’t consume his life like his ex assumed it would, but that he had made much bigger mistakes in life that he’d regretted besides the end of this relationship. At the 2021 ACM Awards on April 18th, Rhett will vie for the Entertainer of the Year honor, an award he shared with Carrie Underwood in 2020.Mitchell Tenpenny was listening to Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain” on his way to a writing session when he was inspired to write his latest single, “ Bigger Mistakes.” No date has been announced for Side B, but a release notes that it is planned for release later in 2021. Singer-songwriter Hardy makes an appearance on the track “Put It on Ice.” Among his collaborators are his father Rhett Akins, Ashley Gorley, and Zach Crowell. “So girl I’ll put this heart of mine/Somewhere good and safe in case you want it again someday,” he sings.Ĭountry Again: Side A was produced by Dann Huff, Jesse Frasure, and Matt Dragstrem, and includes 11 songs, all of which Rhett had a hand in writing. Instead of going full-on nostalgic, the song - penned by Rhett with Matt Dragstrem, Josh Miller, and Josh Thompson - examines his life so far and sees the changes as a sign of progress.Īlso out on Friday is “Want It Again,” an acoustic ode to the one who got away. “I used to hit the bar downtown/Chase girls with Coke and Crown,” he sings, with a midtempo arrangement that prominently features mandolin and pedal steel. Where several of Rhett’s hit singles over the last few years have leaned toward the progressive edge of pop production and songcraft, “Growing Up” almost sounds like an obscurity plucked from the back half of a forgotten Nineties album. The project’s first half, Country Again: Side A, will be available April 30th and includes the lead single “What’s Your Country Song,” along with two newly released tracks, “Growing Up” and “Want It Again.” Thomas Rhett is the latest country singer to go big with plans for a double album.
