"Here and Now" is a rocking, uplifting cut in which Kenny Chesney muses on living in the moment. Everybody's waitin', but they're waiting for what? Better get to livin', 'cause all we've got is Here and now The song doubles down on the singer's regular message of savoring life. According to a press release, the track "weighs how we live against what we want."
The song was born out of Chesney's desire to reconnect with some of his songwriter buddies, Craig Wiseman, David Garcia and David Lee Murphy. The four drank beer, told stories, and wrote songs for the pure joy of it. Inspired, Wiseman, Garcia and Murphy penned "Here And Now" on returning to their Malibu house after one of the sessions.
Chesney said the song "kind of blew my mind" when he first heard it. He said it bought to mind his 2013 No Shoes Nation tour, "The rush of it absolutely being the best place, best moment in the entire world. There's no rush like it." The singer added what really got to him was the way the song talks about enjoying the "here and now" rather than putting it off as we're so busy with stuff. "Only thing is, that's exactly how you miss everything that matters," he said.
