Chris Young’s ‘Getting Older’ Celebrates His ‘Biggest Supporter’
Chris Young‘s ‘Getting Older’ pays tribute to a very important influence. As he was getting ready to release his new album, Young Love & Saturday Nights, he knew he wanted to include a song that was inspired by and honors a very special person in his life: his stepfather. Chris Young’s “Getting Older” accomplishes just that.

Young has had his record deal now for 18 years and there just so happened to be 18 tracks featured on his album. With that being said, “Getting Older,” is a special one for him because it was written for his stepdad, who he says is his “biggest supporter” and always “in my corner.”
The singer-songwriter revealed he finds it very interesting when people say they look alike, but all jokes aside, he “really wanted to write a song for him.” Young admits that he “tried a couple of times” to write the song throughout the years but “just hadn’t wrapped my brain around what I wanted to say.”
Chris Young’s “Getting Older” was co-written by Dave Fenley. Johnny Clawson, and Kyle Sturrock, and as soon as he heard it, knew it was the perfect fit for his album. Once he played it for his stepfather and saw him get emotional, it was another confirmation that it was the right song.
The entire album, while a “massive undertaking” in Young’s words, is especially important to him. “It’s something that I’m really glad people get a chance to hear after I’ve had to sit down and live with it for so long. I’m still so proud.”
How does Young feel about “getting older?” He says has no problem with saying he’s a “38-year-old man” because age is just a number and it’s all a part of life. The country star’s latest track is featured on his new album, Young Love & Saturday Nights, released on Friday (3/22).
