"It's about the crazy journey that took me out into the world over the last ten years and ultimately brought me back home, more centered and content than ever, with a deep understanding for what's important in life," he continued. "I've had a blast sharing some of these songs in their acoustic form during quarantine and am blown away by the reaction the fans have already shown."
According to the press release, the album is entirely co-written by Thomas Rhett and channels a new perspective that comes from the "challenges of 2020 and life in-between."
The album also features personal moments like "To the Guys That Date My Girls," which is an ode to his three daughters, and "Heaven Right Now," about the death of a close friend.

"This is one of my favorite records I've ever gotten to make. I feel so centered as a person," Thomas Rhett said on his Instagram Stories late Thursday night. "A lot of these songs are written just kind of about the lessons I've learned over this decade and for sure in 2020."
"I'm so excited," he said of the album's release. "I really hope y'all enjoy this record."
"Thank you for inspiring me every day just to write better songs, to be a better singer, to be a better artist," he continued. "I just can't wait for you to get your hands on the album because I do think it's some of the best work I've ever done."
