Scotty McCreery Talks New Music and Fatherhood, Teases 2023 Tour

Scotty McCreery shared what has surprised him the most on the first few weeks of fatherhood. “I don’t know if I thought it would be harder or tough, but I think because I love him so much, even when he is yelling in the middle of the night, it’s like I can’t even get upset. It’s like, all right buddy, come here,” he says.

Scotty McCreery is wrapping up a banner year with some new deliveries – his first child, a deluxe album, and a new single. “It Matters to Her” follows his five consecutive No. 1 hits: “Five More Minutes” (certified Double Platinum), “This is It” (two-week #1, certified Platinum), “In Between” (certified Gold), “You Time” (certified Gold), and “Damn Strait” (three-week #1, certified Gold). The song appears on Same Truck: The Deluxe Album, which includes six new tracks.
