Industry members toasted to Thomas&#8217; latest two chart-toppers, &#8220;Marry Me&#8221; and &#8220;Life Changes,&#8221; both of which he co-wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas told reporters that he has some doubts about releasing &#8220;Marry Me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I remember when we were recording &#8216;Marry Me,&#8217; I looked at all my producers and I was like, &#8216;I&#8217;m the love song guy, you know what I&#8217;m saying? Like how do you put &#8216;Die A Happy Man&#8217; out and then put a song like &#8216;Marry Me&#8217; out on the radio and still be believable,&#8217; but we wrote that song out of a place of kind of putting myself into a different narrative a little bit. It&#8217;s kind of like a &#8216;what if&#8217; song if you will, and so I can&#8217;t believe that that song reacted the way that it did (with) people knowing my story, but to this day one of my favourite songs I&#8217;ve ever gotten to be a part of.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Another surprise to Thomas was &#8220;Life Changes,&#8221; something he didn&#8217;t think would ever even be a single, much less a Number One hit, but he says it holds a special place for many reasons, the least of which is because he co-wrote it with his dad, hit songwriter Rhett Akins.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It was one of the most special songs of my career to me just because that song is a page out of a journal, and really cool to see how that song has translated to fans and to radio and in our live show. It&#8217;s just nuts, and my (dad), it was written . . . That was the coolest part. I mean, me and Dad have written one other Number One song together but this one was special because I got to tell that story through my eyes but he also got to contribute to that song by saying, &#8216;Well this is how I saw your life in college, this is how I saw your life in these other areas and as the years went by,&#8217; and so it was really cool to get a perspective from your dad during the writing process and as well as mine.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"video-shortcode embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"610\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9a6SCzD7dJ0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thomas Rhett&#8217;s latest success was celebrated during a party in Nashville.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":1665,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"No","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[55,215,216,54],"class_list":["post-1663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-life-changes","tag-marry-me","tag-rhett-akins","tag-thomas-rhett"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-16 02:13:11","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2018\/10\/thomas-rhett-celebrates-two-chart-toppers\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1663"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1663\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1664,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1663\/revisions\/1664"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
