Chase Rice is known as a songwriter, but he can also see a diamond in the rough when he’s pitched a song. Chase is working on his follow-up album to Ignite the Night, and he’s getting sent all kind of songs–including the one he picked to be his new single, “Everybody We Know Does.” Chase remembers hearing a very early version of the song 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.'”
