Introduction:
While “Now” is not one of Scotty McCreery’s most well-known hits, it’s a song that holds a special place for both the artist and his fans. The song was actually sent to McCreery in 2015 while he was on a trip with friends. He instantly connected with the song’s melody and story, but felt it didn’t quite fit the albums he was working on at the time.
It wasn’t until years later, while recording his fifth studio album “Rise and Fall,” that McCreery decided to finally record “Now.” During a recording session, with some time left on the clock, the band decided to give it a go. The result was pure magic, with each band member expressing their love for the song.
“Now” is a beautiful ballad that showcases McCreery’s rich baritone vocals and heartfelt delivery. The song speaks to the power of living in the moment and cherishing the present, a message that resonates with many listeners. It’s a reminder to appreciate the here and now, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.
The song’s journey to finally being recorded and released is a testament to its timeless quality. It’s a song that waited for the right moment, and when that moment came, it shone brightly. “Now” is a reminder that sometimes, the best things in life are worth waiting for.
