It wasn\u2019t exactly a comeback, because Keith had done incredibly well for himself on Mercury Records in the \u201990s. Just as the song says, he was indeed \u201cliving in your radio\u201d with a string of chart-topping hits he wrote.<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"> Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3umaLe37-LE?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3umaLe37-LE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>\t<\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<p>However, with a shift to DreamWorks Records, he could express himself far more freely. His rugged attitude and willingness to put his personality at the fore endeared him to millions of country listeners, who followed him through another decade of No. 1 hits. <\/p>\n<p>His own smirking sense of humor is evident in the \u201cHow Do You Like Me Now?!\u201d video, as he invites an unrequited former crush to meet him at midnight at the football stadium \u2014 only to rub it in her face that she was wrong (with a cheer routine, no less).<\/p>\n<p>Keith\u2019s platinum-certified 2000 album, also titled <em>How Do You Like Me Now?!<\/em>, won an ACM Award, while Keith picked up a Male Vocalist trophy that same year. So, guess that answers that question.<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\" id=\"8ee4e74d\">\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"> <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;img&quot;}\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/03\/Toby-Keith-2001-1584545064.jpg?quality=0.85&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=480\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/03\/Toby-Keith-2001-1584545064.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=481 481w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/03\/Toby-Keith-2001-1584545064.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=660 660w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/03\/Toby-Keith-2001-1584545064.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=768 768w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/03\/Toby-Keith-2001-1584545064.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=980 980w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/03\/Toby-Keith-2001-1584545064.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=1200 1200w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/03\/Toby-Keith-2001-1584545064.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=1500 1500w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/03\/Toby-Keith-2001-1584545064.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=1800 1800w\" title=\"36th Academy of Country Music Awards\" class=\" js-srcset-img shortcode-image portrait\" alt><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"photocredit\"> Kevin Winter\/Getty Images <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmt.com\/news\/1819173\/twenty-years-later-how-do-you-like-this-toby-keith-classic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: CMT News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Craig Shelburne 12m ago Reinventing himself on a new record label, Toby Keith had the last laugh when \u201cHow Do You Like Me Now?!\u201d spent five weeks at No. 1 in March and April 2000.
