Thomas Rhett released a nostalgic new song, āRemember You Young,ā from his upcoming fourth studio album, Center Point Road, which will drop on May 31.
Penned by TR, Jesse Frasure, Ashley Gorley, āRemember You Youngā follows the release of the albumās lead single, āLook What God Gave Her,ā which is currently No. 14 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart after seven weeks.
āWe wrote this song about the people in life that we love, and always remembering them in their youth no matter how much time passes and we all change,ā Thomas Rhett said. āThereās something sentimental about remembering your very best friends who have real jobs and families now tearing it up in college, or picturing me and my wife with no cares at the Tin Roof back in Knoxville. I love that the last verse is a bit of twist with it all coming full circle. It actually makes me emotional . . . itās easily one of my favorite tracks on the album.ā
The 16-song album takes its name from the street in his Tennessee hometown that shaped much of his life experiences. TR co-penned every track on the album, which also features a whoās who of top songwriters, including Shane McAnally, Karen Fairchild, Rhett Akins, Josh Osborne and more.
In addition, the album features a number of collaborations with other artists, including Kelsea Ballerini (āCenter Point Roadā), Little Big Town (āDonāt Threaten Me With a Good Timeā) and Jon Pardi (āBeer Canāt Fixā).
āFor me, Center Point Road really symbolizes what it was like to grow up in Hendersonville [Tennessee],ā says TR. āFirst dates, first football games, first heartbreak, first kisses, success and failures. I really feel like that road shaped who I am today, and it felt fitting because the record, for the most part, is pretty nostalgic. Songs like āAlmost,ā āThat Old Truckā and especially āCenter Point Road,ā really describe who I was as a kid and teenager, and who Iāve become as an adult.ā
