Chris Young knew he had a winner the first time he heard “Who I Am with You.” (:38)
“‘Who I Am with You,’ I actually got this song from a [music] publisher, and I sent him an e-mail, and I said, ‘Hey, man, here’s what I want. I want a straight-up, simple love song. That’s all I want is like perfect relationship, what you want to say when you’re in that relationship with somebody that just makes you absolutely the best, you know, person you think you can be ‘cause they’re around. It’s just perfect.’ And this was the first song he sent me, and I immediately sent him back: ‘Cutting it!’ And I wish I ‘d written this one. It’s another one of those, you know, beautifully simplistic songs, and I just really, really, really love this one.”
