Five More Minutes

This song honors Scotty McCreery's grandfather, Bill McCreery, who passed away unexpectedly in January 2015 two days after celebrating his 86th birthday. Scotty debuted the tune during a concert in Raleigh, North Carolina on October 24, 2015. "This has become probably my favorite song I've ever written," McCreery told the crowd of the cut. "It's very relatable, I think, for a lot of folks."

McCreery paid tribute to his grandfather on his Facebook page: My Granddad was a hard worker who spent 20 years in the US Air Force Strategic Air Command and 10 more years working for the US Civil Service at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. He lived life to the fullest, was good-natured and had a hearty laugh. He was totally devoted to my Grandmother Paquita for 57 years. Together, they raised three children and were inspirations for their six grandchildren. He was one amazing guy who drove a black mustang convertible and could still dive off his diving board in his backyard pool.

Scotty McCreery co-wrote the emotional track with Frank Rogers and Monty Criswell. He recalled the story of the song to The Boot: "We sat down at Frank's house - Frank Rogers, my producer and co-writer on the song. I was just kind of talking to him about Grandaddy, and [how] there were a few things I wanted to tell Grandaddy that I didn't get a chance to. I was kind of reminiscing on what we'd do together: We'd golf together and swim together in his pool in the backyard. Monty was the one who had the idea that you just wish you have five more minutes with them; he had the idea for the song, and I said, yeah, man, that's the title. We wrote the song around that - tried to make it pretty autobiographical and pretty relatable to the folks out there."
