The song, which features <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmt.com\/artists\/brothers-osborne\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Brothers Osborne<\/a>, is Bentley\u2019s 18th No. 1 song. It was written by Bobby Pinson and Luke Dick. \u201cWhen you do a collaboration it\u2019s a leap of faith but there is no one else that could have done what these guys did on this song.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve just been really lucky to work with people like these guys where it\u2019s all about the music and friendship. It\u2019s rare to find that outside of Nashville,\u201d Bentley said during the chart party at Martin\u2019s BBQ in downtown Nashville, \u201cand a really unique thing that is happening in country music right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The feeling was mutual for John and TJ Osborne. \u201cWhen he sent us the song it was done and already sounded awesome,\u201d TJ Osborne said. \u201cI\u2019m such a fan of Dierks and when I listened to the demo, it already sounded like a Dierks hit and it took me a minute to really make it mine. To take that risk on us with something that already sounded great was all on Dierks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bentley\u2019s current single is likely to be celebrated soon.
