Sam Hunt Almost Didn’t Release One Of His Biggest Hits
January 24, 2022 7:00 pmSam Hunt revealed in a recent interview that he almost didn’t release “Body Like a Back Road” as a single.
He has a group of trusted people who give him advice and “quite a few” gave it a thumbs down, but he released it anyway because he had to.
“That was at a time when I was going on a tour. [I] hadn’t worked on any new music, but we needed to put out something new if we were going to tour, and that was honestly one of the only songs I had written. I was like, ‘Well, I got this song, we could just put this out . . . it’s about the only option.’ It was really more out of necessity instead of, ‘Oh, this is one. I want to put this song out.”
The song spent 34 weeks at Number One on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, and that confused him even more.
