Thomas Rhett’s Infectious New Love Song 

Author Nancy Brooks // Country Writer, Beasley Media Group

Thomas Rhett has just released an infectious new love song, “Beautiful As You.” The high-energy anthem features quick-hitting lyrics, representing the first taste of Thomas’s upcoming seventh studio album, which will be released on August 23. 

Rhett will debut “Beautiful As You” at the 59th Academy of Country Music Awards next Thursday (5/16), streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime.

He said of the new song, “This is an anthem for everybody who feels like they out-kicked their coverage. There was one day a couple years back when I was looking at my wife, and I was like, ‘Why in the world did you choose me?'”

Thomas continued, “I get to be with someone who could easily be on the cover of a magazine, and I get to see her in all her forms – a partner, a mother, a friend, even a philanthropist. I just feel like I’ve got a first row seat at almost-perfection, if you will. And like the song says, ‘Seriously, what is somebody as amazing as you doing with somebody like me?'”

Very Joyful Season

He concluded, “Lauren and I are just in a different phase of life than we have been for a while. Now it’s a little easier to go on date nights, do stuff with friends, stay up a little bit later – I don’t know, maybe even sleep in a little bit! So much of my music is a reflection of the stage of life we are in – we’re in a very joyful season – and this song is just the tip of the iceberg to the rest of this next album.”

Rhett found the perfect way to celebrate his 22nd number-one song, “Mamaw’s House,” a duet with Morgan Wallen about the guys’ grandmas. Last month, Thomas jumped into a pool in Florida alongside his Mamaw. He posted the fun moment on his Instagram.

The Jump

Rhett tells his Mamaw in the sweet video clip, “You’ve got to look in the camera and say ‘Mamaw’s House’ is number one.” The two then jump into the pool’s deep end, and the water goes over both of their heads.

Thomas captioned the video clip, “Celebrating “Mamaw’s House,” going #1 with my Mamaw… thank you, thank you, thank you to country radio, @morganwallen, & my whole team. Love y’all.”

Rhett said in a statement, “Both of our Mamaws were such a big part of shaping us into the men we are today, so I loved being able to pay tribute to them in this way. God Bless all the Mamaws out there for making us all better people, and thank y’all for loving on them with us!”

    This song was the lead single to Thomas’s second studio album, Tangled Up, and was released to country radio on April 27, 2015. Jesse Frasure and Chris Stapleton wrote the song.

    The music video for this infectious song features Rhett, who is dumped by a woman on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge bridge in downtown Nashville. Throughout the video, he pursues her and attempts to win her back, but he fails after she walks off and leaves him in the middle of the street. Rhett told us that the video was shot on his “old stomping grounds from college.”

    In an impressive move at one point in the video, he jumps out of the car he is driving and walks beside it as it rolls. He then jumps up on the hood of the unmanned vehicle and continues to sing.

  • "Marry Me" (2018)

    “Marry Me” is a song written by Rhett, Jesse Frasure, Ashley Gorley, and Shane McAnally. The song has sold 4 million units by 2021. The song’s subject is a man who watches a desired woman marry someone else.

    The music video is a sequel to the “Marry Me” music video. In addition to showing Rhett performing the song barefoot in a room full of mirrors, the video centers on the male character from “Marry Me,” now in his elderly years.
