A Little More Love

Jerrod Niemann teams up here with his pal and labelmate Lee Brice. Though they've been friends since the early 2000s, this is the first time they've put out a song together.

It was Brice who had initially demoed the tune. Niemann recalled to The Boot receiving a phone call from his pal, telling him, "I found this song that Curb put on hold for me, but it sounds like something you'd record. So I want to give it to you if you want it." "I thought, 'What are you implying? Why don't you want this song?'" Niemann added. "And then when I heard it, I realized it was something that I'd love to be a part of." However, after Brice listened to it a few more times he decided that he wanted to be part of the song as well. "We always talked about recording music together, so we thought, 'Why don't we go do it? Just figure it out?'" Niemann said. "We went old school: We stood in the same room. We used two different mics, but we sang at the same time, like back in the day when you had to. It made it way cooler, I guess, the vibe of being there together and capturing the essence of the hang in the studio."

It was the song's important lyrical content, which made it such an appropriate one for Niemann to record with his pal. "I think, it's not a preachy song, but I think the world just keeps getting crazier and crazier, [and] I couldn't think of a better message to record with Lee," he said. "As a friend, he's done so many wonderful things for me, and we've shared a lot of great memories, and share a lot of fans out there, too; we've had some great times. I'm hoping people will hear this song and, whether we cross paths or not, it will take them to somewhere special." "There's a lot of great things around us," Niemann added. "We're always aspiring to have something different, something tangible, but it's the intangible that makes life what it is."
