That’s the period of time it takes Jordan Davis to comply with the lifetime of a relationship — from confirmed bachelor, to husband, to father, to grandfather — in “Subsequent Factor You Know,” a reasonably unconventional ballad that virtually has awards-circuit contender stamped on it. MCA Nashville launched it to nation radio through PlayMPE on Feb. 6 primarily based on the response from followers, who continuously confess in YouTube feedback that the tune makes them cry. That response will not be a lot completely different from the response of the 4 males who created it.

“I’m not the one one which in all probability had a number of tears within the writing room,” Davis says. “That often means you’re writing one thing actual.”

“Subsequent Factor” was mainly a last-minute bonus as Davis labored on his Bluebird Days album, launched Feb. 17. Greylan James (“Comfortable Does,” “For What It’s Price”), Chase McGill (“5 Foot 9,” “By no means Say By no means”) and Josh Osborne (“What He Didn’t Do,” “Physique Like a Again Highway”) had a co-writing session booked at Common Music Publishing Nashville for June 14, 2022, and Davis was added to the appointment simply a few days earlier than it came about. He had a June 21 recording session on his schedule, and the implication put stress on the group to give you one thing nice.

“If we do it, we get a lower,” recollects James. “If we don’t, we’ve missed a straightforward alternative.”
