Kenny Chesney‘s contemplative “Knowing You” has become his 34th single to make it to the top of the charts.
Penned by Adam James, Brett James and Kat Higgins, the yearning song was Higgins’ first cut and the very first American No. 1 for the CCMA nominated songwriter/artist, whose songs have also been recorded by Carrie Underwood and The Lone Bellow.
“Losing people you care about is always hard,” Chesney says. “There’s a hole where all that adventure used to be. But if you pause for a moment, remember all the crazy times; the discoveries, moments you shared while sad and laughing… If you take all that in, if you know the person who’s gone brought all that to you; how can you be anything but glad? When you’re sad, it’s so easy to forget… But I worry we lose all the love and beauty in sadness over what’s gone. My hope, throughout the life of this single, has been for people to take this idea and embrace it, embrace that person they loved who’s gone and celebrate every small thing that was part of their relationship.”
Chesney is gearing up for his “Here And Now 2022” tour, which is set to kick off April 23 at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium. The trek marks his return to the road after three years.
