I Love This Life

This uptempo, feel-good country-rocker came from a writing session between LoCash's Chris Lucas and Preston Brust plus Chris Janson and Danny Myrick. The same foursome also wrote Tim McGraw's "Truck Yeah."

Brust told The Boot that the song was fueled by a desire to battle all of the negativity they were seeing in the world around them, so they penned, "a feel-good song that makes you love your life and makes you appreciate the little things." He added; "We're not trying to change the world, and it's not rocket science, and it's not a real deep song; it's just something that makes you feel good. When Chris and I took it out on the road, and we started performing it. The very first time we played it, everybody's hands [were] up in the air, everybody."

Co-writer Chris Janson admitted to reporters that he never imagined this would be a hit. "I bet against it, off the bat," he said "They were an independent [act], like I was, and it's scary when you don't have a record deal. It just is." "Danny Myrick and I took a chance and just said, 'Okay, whatever. We love you guys, so have at it,' and they did it," Janson added. "It's pretty unbelievable."
