“I’m trying to write my love songs with a little more depth, rather than our life is rainbows and fairytales,” Rhett said. “Love just shifts and evolves and you start to love deeper and you start to love harder in the midst of all the chaos of your life. “I just love every record doing a couple of songs that are way out of my wheelhouse because I think it expands me creatively,” Rhett said. “They’re thinking, ‘Oh, we’re going to do the big crossover record or a big pop record or ballad.’ So with (Rhett,) I thought, screw it. Rhett also spends time on this record happily reminiscing about life pre-fame and stardom, when he was just a high school kid in Hendersonville, Tennessee, as the son of country singer-songwriter Rhett Akins.
