Ya Heard - Commentary

I told you this was a great album. Hopefully, you've been able to hear

All the songs and Thomas Rhett talking about every song on his new

Project Country Again, Side A. We have one last song and I have to

Admit, when I first read the title, I just kinda felt

Like it had a party vibe to it. It's called "Ya Heard

" But there's actually a much sweeter, deeper meaning

To it. So Thomas, tell everybody about "Ya Heard."

"You Heard" was one of those titles that a buddy of mine, Chase McGill

, Threw out that I was like, "What in the world does that mean?" And

He said, "Well, I wrote a little verse to it." The song is basically

It's somewhat in a way like a folk-y "Unanswered Prayers," in a way

Just talking about the things that I've just wanted my whole life

You know, it was like, when I was like 16 years old, I knew I wanted

To marry Lauren. I prayed about it, and then never in a million years

Thought it would happen. And then we finally started dating again and

Got married and it was like that whole time that I was like, talking

To God about this stuff, He actually was listening, and actually did

Answer that prayer. And kinda just moving through the song, it's just

These progression of things that I always wanted and kinda would put

It out there, but never really thought any of it would come true

And I feel like if I look back at my life, a lot of my wildest dreams

That I never thought would come true actually did. And so when you

Talk about "Ya Heard," you know, it's like, I'm pretty

Sure you were listening when I was talking about these

Things. And that is Willa Gray and Ada James, their favorite

Song on the record, so when they raised their hand and

Said, "This is a favorite," then it has to be on there

Aw, yeah. I mean, if Willa Gray and Ada James ask me for anything

I would say yes. They're just so sweet. And then, of course

There's Lennon Love. I don't think she's old enough to say, "This

Is my favorite song," but I know she will convince daddy to put some

Songs on his album when she's old enough to tell him what she likes

But this is a great song. It's called "Ya Heard" and it's the final

Track on Country Again, Side A, the new album from Thomas Rhett
