LaCorte’s first ever No. 1 single, “Breaking Up Was Easy in the 90s,” reached the top of the Billboard Country Airplay chart on May 22, 2021, and was co-written with Hunt, Josh Osborne, Ernest K. Smith, and Zach Crowell, who also served as a producer on the song.

LaCorte also served as sole producer and mixer on the follow-up single, “23,” which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart on April 9, 2022. He co-wrote the song alongside Hunt, Shane McAnally, and Osborne. The track marked LaCorte’s first solo production credit with Hunt, solidifying him as both a songwriter and producer on the country charts.
