Thomas Rhett is scratching his head at his luck as he releases his new single, “Beautiful As You,” from his upcoming seventh studio album set for release Aug. 23 via The Valory Music Co.

A high-energy celebration of hitting the romantic jackpot, the track is a tribute to those lucky enough to be reminded every day that they are loved by someone way out of their league, and Rhett is set to debut it on the upcoming 59th Academy of Country Music Awards. Produced by Julian Bunetta, “Beautiful As You” is the follow up to Rhett’s 22 No. 1 singles, which has the hit-maker feeling re-invigorated and ready to push the creative envelope.

“This is an anthem for everybody who feels like they out-kicked their coverage,” Rhett says with a laugh. “There was one day a couple years back when I was looking at my wife, and I was like, ‘Why in the world did you choose me?’ I get to be with someone who could easily be on the cover of a magazine, and I get to see her in all her forms—a partner, a mother, a friend, even a philanthropist. I just feel like I’ve got a first row seat at almost-perfection, if you will. And like the song says, ‘Seriously, what is somebody as amazing as you doing with somebody like me?’

“Lauren and I are just in a different phase of life than we have been for awhile,” he continues. “Now it’s a little easier to go on date nights, do stuff with friends, stay up a little bit later—I don’t know, maybe even sleep in a little bit! So much of my music is a reflection of the stage of life we are in—we’re in a very joyful season—and this song is just the tip of the iceberg to the rest of this next album.”
