Somewhere With You

Chesney told Billboard magazine about this J.T. Harding and Shane McAnally penned tale of lost love: "This song killed me when I heard it. This is a tortured soul song. If you get going with somebody, you've been in a relationship and for whatever reason she's gone or you're gone. And you're not necessarily in another relationship, but you're with somebody else, just starting something with somebody else. Trying to balance both those worlds is tough. I've done it a lot, where you're with somebody and you're thinking this isn't necessarily bad, but wow, man it would be really great to be with you. That can be a lot of mental baggage."

After the song topped the Billboard country chart, Chesney said he believed the song resonated with so many people because of its combination of an unusual melody and its message of moving on from a previous relationship, but still thinking about that other person. Said the Country star: "Melodically, I think this is the most unpredictable melody that I've sang in a long time. And I think just the overall feel and the essence and what the song - the overall message of the song - what it says, so many people can relate to that. They have that person in their life that, 'Yeah, I'm with this person now, but I still think about this over here.' This may be a great, committed relationship, or it may just be a date, but still that person is in their head, in their heart, and they're thinking about it."

Chesney explained it was the song's lyrics, which drew him to record the song in the first place. "I love the line of this song where [it says], 'I can't go out every night of the week/I can't go home with anybody I meet/and it's just a temporary high/'cause when I close my eyes/I'm somewhere with you,'" said the singer. "Anybody that has been in a relationship associates certain places or certain things or certain music, food, whatever, back to that person."
