Brett Young makes a point to sing about things that he has a personal connection to, and such is the case with his latest hit, “Lady.” He wrote the song about his wife as a message to his daughter, Presley. While all of his songs are meaningful, Brett says this one climbs to another level for him. “I think I fought really hard to this point to only say things in my music that do connect and resonate with me. Cause I never felt like it was okay to ask fans to feel connected if I wasn’t. But, there are some topics that are gonna be hard to touch, you know, like this is literally a song about my wife to my daughter. I don’t know that I’ll ever do anything that personal. Not because I don’t want to, I just don’t know that there’s something that personal that I can ever do again. So, all the songs are personal in their own way, but yeah, I don’t think this one’s touchable.”
Brett and his wife are expecting their second child this summer. He will reveal the baby's gender during his appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Thursday (March 25th).
Brett celebrates his 40th birthday today (Tuesday, March 23rd).
