Interesting facts and trivia about Give It All We Got Tonight. By Songfacts®.

The first single from George Strait's 28th studio album is a romantic ballad penned by Nashville songwriters Tim James, Phil O'Donnell and Mark Bright. "The song has a very unusual melody and very cool phrasing, which I've always been drawn to," shared Strait, who once again collaborated with longtime producer, Tony Brown, on the music. It was released on October 29, 2012.

George was initially unsure if he'd be able to capture the song. "I hadn't done any recording in quite a while, and so I really didn't have anything to put out, but I was trying to find a few songs just to go in and cut," he said. "So, I was listening to stuff constantly, every day. The first time I heard it I thought, 'Hmm, that's a great song. [It's] a little different for me, you know, a little risqué kinda.' I'm thinking, 'I don't know if I can pull this off or not.' But, I talked with [UMG's] Brian [Wright] a little bit about it, and he said, 'Sure you can. You can do it.' I said, 'Alright. We'll try it.' So, we did, and I just love it. I mean, it's, like I said, it's a little different, the melody's a little different, great lyrics. It's kinda about parking, [laughs] which I've done a few times back in the early days. [laughs]"

The song reached the top of the Mediabase charts as the most played song on Country radio. Fans and fellow artists alike had joined the 'Sixty For Sixty' campaign to help accomplish the historic milestone of giving George his 60th #1 single while he was 60 years old. It came down to the last minute as it finally reached #1 a few days before the Nashville legend's 61st birthday. In doing so, George became the first artist in any genre of music to place 60 songs at the top of the charts.
