Tyler Hubbard’s Shares New Song “Thank God For Little Girls” in Heart Warming Video

/in , , /by

After reuniting with his family after almost two weeks, Tyler Hubbard shares a song with his daughter that he wrote for her in quarantine called “Thank God for Little Girls”. The lyrics are beautiful, but it’s the video of him playing the song to her for the first time that will make your heart smile.

 

For those who may not know, Tyler Hubbard, of Florida Georgia Line, tested positive for Covid-19 a couple of weeks ago. Luckily, he was mostly asymptomatic and was able to quarantine close to home..on his tour bus in his driveway. While he wasn’t physically with his family, he would see his wife and kids through the windows of the tour bus, from afar in the driveway, and on FaceTime.

Over the 13-day quarantine, Hubbard kept fans in the loop of what his day-to-day consisted of through his Instagram stories, and there was a whole lot of songwriting. In addition to the many FaceTime calls and videos that he and his wife Hayley shared on social media, Hubbard also gave a good amount of teasers for the many songs he was writing on the tour bus from song clips to lyrics. It was clear how much he missed his wife and kids (daughter, Liv and sons, Luca and Atlas) and it seems those feelings inspired some new music.

Today, Hubbard gave fans the biggest teaser yet with a song called “Thank God for Little Girls”, which he wrote with Lori McKenna and Dave Barnes. He wrote the song for his daughter, Liv, and shared a video that his wife took of him playing the song for her for the first time. 

You hear Hubbard say “it’s about you” at the beginning of the video. When Liv hears the chorus, she says “my daddy” and touches his face adorably. After hearing the whole song, Liv tells him “I like that song for me, I want to keep it so much…forever and ever.” Not sure what’s more precious, the song, or this video.

In the caption of the post, Hubbard shared “This is one of my favorite moments with her so far. Thanks for capturing it @hayley_hubbard … I’m not crying … You’re crying”.

We hope to hear the full song soon, along with many more from Hubbard’s bus quarantine! 

 

Below are the (partial) lyrics from what was played on the video:

Yeah I used to live for Friday Nights

Pick-up trucks and beer

Hangin out with all my rowdy friends

Was something I held dear

 

I thought those were the glory days

But now I can’t believe

How my view on life is changing

How much sweeter it can be

 

I thank God for country music

I thank God for this guitar

I thank God for every friend I got 

And fireflies in the dark

 

But there’s nothing like the angel 

That came into my world

And says “I love you daddy”

Thank God for little girls

 

Yeah now-a-days I hurry home 

And run right up the stairs

Just in time to watch her fold her hands 

And say them bedtime prayers

 

She thanks the lord for Mom and Dad

and Grandma back at home

Yeah she’s got her whole list memorized

And I memorize my own

 

I thank God for country music

I thank God for this guitar

I thank God that I found Jesus

He was right there in my heart

So thank you for the angel 

That came and rocked my world

Taught me how to love the father

Thank God for little girls

Florida Georgia Line’s “Lit This Year” Kicks Off the ‘Holidaze’ Season

/in , , /by

Florida Georgia Line’s New Christmas Song, “Lit This Year” is available now, October 30th, on all streaming platforms. Written by Tyler Hubbard, Brian Kelly, and Corey Crowder. Learn more below about this feel-good holiday tune to get your first taste of Christmas cheer!

Florida Georgia Line Lit This Year

The perfect feel-good Christmas tune is here to get us ready for the Holiday season. Or the ‘holidaze’ if you ask the boys from FGL. Written and produced by Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelly themselves, along with Corey Crowder, Florida Georgia Line’s first-ever seasonal tune, “Lit This Year”, is available now on all streaming platforms.

The boys of Florida Georgia Line are excited about their new Christmas song. Hubbard shares that “BK, Corey, and I had a good time writing this one”. Kelly adds “This is a new one for us. T and I always felt our first holiday song would come at just the right time – we’re excited for fans to have something FGL to cheers for the season with!”

What starts out seeming like a good ole traditional Christmas, with Mama in the kitchen, Daddy cutting down the tree, everyone decorating it, and the whole family back in town, quickly brings us to what an average modern Christmas may look like for families coming together these days…especially after a loooonnggg 2020…with a ‘fridge full of cheers’ and some ‘homegrown mistletoe’, assuring us that ‘that Christmas tree ain’t the only thing getting lit this year’.

If you haven’t tried Old Camp Whiskey yet and want a taste of what they’re talking about, make sure to pour some ‘Old Camp in the eggnog’ to get into the holiday spirit!

Hubbard and Kelly continue to add these up-beat and feel-good songs into the country music world and this is another song to add to the mix! It follows their latest hit, ‘Long Live’ which they will be performing at the upcoming 54th Annual CMA Awards on November 11th, where they are nominated for Vocal Duo of the Year. They also received a nomination for Favorite Duo or Group – Country at the American Music Awards, which is fan-voted. Voting is open through November 16th and the show airs on November 22nd.

Florida Georgia Line and Nelly Reunite for New Song “Lil Bit”

/in , , /by

Florida Georgia Line and Nelly teamed up for a brand new song, “Lil Bit” available now, October 23rd, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.

“Cruise” was arguably the song that defined the “bro-country” era in the 2010s. When rapper and singer-songwriter Nelly joined Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley on the remix, it gained popularity and helped skyrocket the song to the top of the charts, holding the number one spot for 24 straight weeks. Now in 2020, Nelly reunites with the CMA-nominated Duo of the Year on the brand new track, “Lil Bit”.

Unlike “Cruise,” this song leans more heavily into rap than country. Nelly raps the verses and pre-chorus and Hubbard and Kelley come in for the chorus. A banjo joins the hip-hop beat to give it a country element and create an interesting and unique sound. Hubbard and Nelly wrote this track with Jordan Schmidt and Blake Redferrin.

Florida Georgia Line and Nelly Reunite for a Brand New Song, "Lil Bit", available now.

Florida Georgia Line and Nelly Reunite for a Brand New Song, “Lil Bit”, available now.

Take me to the country , show me where your from / I said Shawty you gon’ love me and we gon’ have some fun / I’ll break out my big wheel and you can climb on up / Girl, I think you a big deal, now show your boy some love / Huh, just a lil’ bit

It is unlikely this will get a lot of country radio airtime, but it could be a fun song for Florida Georgia Line to mix into their live sets when concerts finally do return. For Nelly, “Lil Bit” is his third country feature of 2020, along with “Good Times Roll” with Jimmie Allen and “Cool Again” with Kane Brown. He has also collaborated with Tim McGraw in the past and recorded his own version of Thomas Rhett’s “Die a Happy Man.”

Florida Georgia Line Receive St. Jude “Angels Among Us” Award

/in , /by

Superstar duo Florida Georgia Line received the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital’s “Angels Among Us” Award during a special livestream presentation today (October 15th).

The livestream, themed “We Won’t Stop,” is an annual celebration of partners affiliated with the Country Cares for St. Jude Kids® radio program.

St. Jude, located in Memphis, Tennessee is a research hospital for children battling cancer and other deadly diseases. Perhaps the most special part about the organization is, thanks to very generous donors, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food. Families receive the best care in the country, at no cost, making the worst and darkest days of their lives a little bit brighter – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

Not only is St. Jude currently taking care of patients within its own doors but its research facility and labs are open 24/7 and freely share their findings with hospitals and doctors across the country. They are working towards a world where no family ever has to hear the words “you have cancer”.

NYCountry Swag’s Christina Bosch & Stephanie Wagner rocking St. Jude’s “We Won’t Stop” Tees

Launched more than 30 years ago, Randy Owen from the band Alabama stood up during Country Radio Seminar in Nashville and asked his friends, colleagues, and radio partners to join together to help St. Jude and the children they serve, and so, “Country Cares for St. Jude Kids” was born. The program unites more than 200 radio stations and dozens of country music artists annually to raise awareness and support for St. Jude kids.

In addition, Owen, who has been an example of compassion and support since the beginning, kick-started the beloved tradition of giving the “Angels Among Us” award to others who have shown his spirit and exceptional dedication to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

As Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line receive the award this year, the organization recognizes their generosity and passion for serving the St. Jude mission: Finding cures. Saving children.®

The 17-time chart-topping, multi-platinum duo have supported St. Jude families for many years. In addition to their involvement in the This Shirt Saves Lives campaign since 2017, they’ve also orchestrated several special moments with St. Jude patients. One prime example of this is when they surprised a patient on stage in 2018, leading a crowd of more than 1,500 fans in singing the “No More Chemo” song to him – in celebration of his last round of chemotherapy. Another example is just last year when FGL added a surprise tour stop at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital during their “Can’t Say I Ain’t Country Tour.” The special event attracted a record crowd of patient families for an on-campus event, giving them a day to look forward to and a reminder that they are not alone.

St. Jude We Won't Stop Tee

This year, following the St. Jude “This Shirt Saves Lives” campaign, the organization introduces the “We Won’t Stop” tee. For a monthly donation of just $19, you can get the exclusive tee and help support this incredible program. It costs over a million dollars daily to operate St. Jude each and every day. Donations are what keeps them able to help children suffering. To donate and get your own “We Won’t Stop” t-shirt head to www.stjude.org.

/in , /by

Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard and wife, Hayley, are celebrating the birth of their third child, a beautiful baby boy. Given the name Atlas Roy, Baby Hubbard joins older brother, Luca and sister, Olivia.

Just after notching their 17th # 1 song with “I Love My Country,” Florida Georgia Line released their latest single, “Long Live” which is a feel-good anthem that pays homage to the small-town life and all of the aspects they never want to change.

As Hubbard adjusts to being a Dad of three, we look forward to more new music to come from Florida Georgia Line as well as following along as The Hubbard’s navigate life as a new family of five. Congratulations Tyler & Hayley!
