My and my stage-left guitar player Tyler King wrote that chorus probably four years ago in my first apartment that I lived in in Nashville,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tried to write the verses with a couple different folks, and nothing really ever came of it. I couldn\u2019t really find a direction that I liked or a melody that I loved. I really did struggle with it for a while, and a couple buddies of mine were out writing on the road, Dan Isbell and Drew Parker. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I said, \u2019Hey, I\u2019ve had this thing forever, let\u2019s try to take a stab at it.\u2019 We started working on the verses and finally came up with a melody that we liked. I think I went in to play the show, and then I come back and they\u2019re like, \u2019Oh man.\u2019 They had just put in a ton of work on the song by the time I got back and I guess they probably had it three quarters of the way done by the time I got back. It was just really going in the right direction, and we polished it off that night and, you know, that\u2019s it,\u201d Combs shared. <\/p>\n<p>On Friday (Nov. 8), Dunn shared his own thoughts on the young star\u2019s authenticity, talent and destiny. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">For an artist there is nothing more powerful than authenticity.
