Like many artists during the pandemic, Young turned to Zoom writing sessions but found them lacking. “Most of the stuff that I wrote over Zoom, even the stuff that was the best of that, I do feel like there was something missing, at least for me as a songwriter,” he says. “So I don’t think there’s anything that ended up on this record that was a Zoom write, but I’ve had some stuff that was a Zoom write that was on hold for other artists.
He and Tenpenny did manage to write his new single, the driving “At the End of the Bar,” in person -- just barely. It was day three of an ice storm in Nashville and the pair decided there was just enough of a thaw to safely go write with DeStefano, in part prompted by Young’s fear of missing out if they delayed the writing session. “There’s no guarantee that what you would get one day is what you would get the next day,” he says. “I’m really, really glad we got together that day.
And many of his songs do draw upon his life, just not in a way that reveal specifics. “I had a moment before where a girl's at the house, there's a song on and we're dancing while no one's watching, and that's kind of where the very last song on this record, ‘Tonight We're Dancing,' came from,” he says. “So I feel like I put that part of that out there and that's so personal.
