Chase Rice is known as a songwriter, but he can also see a diamond in the rough when he’s pitched a song. Chase remembers hearing a very early version of “Everybody We Know Does” being sung by one of it’s co-writers, Jeremy Bussey, for the very first time on his couch at home, “it was a board mix…I just heard the song, and I was like ‘man, lyrically it’s just…it’s exactly the way I was as a kid, the way I am now with my farm in Tennessee.’” And while musically it wasn’t all there yet, Chase knew with the lyrics that reached out to him, that he and his album producer Chris DeStefano could bring to the song to life. When Chase heard the final produced version back, his first thought was “this song could be huge.”

“When I first heard the song, I was sitting on my couch, it was a board mix…Jeremy Bussey was singing it. I just heard the song, and I was like ‘man, lyrically it’s just…it’s exactly the way I was as a kid, the way I am now with my farm in Tennessee,’ and I started thinking about the possibilities production wise of how Chris DeStefano and I could take it. So, I put it on hold, we went in the studio, messed around with it and then I heard the version back, and I was like ‘this song could be huge.’”
