00:00Here we are with Chase Rice backstage, ready to come out and blow y'all away here in just a few.
00:05What's going on, man?
00:07Oh, man, I'm just, Florida's going on, man.
00:09I've been here like, I don't know, I feel like I've been here like ten times in the last two months.
00:13It's been awesome.
00:14Yeah, well, good.
00:15And now it feels like we're in the North Pole.
00:17I know, yeah.
00:18You know, I'm telling you, so we had a show cancel in Savannah a couple nights ago because the weather was so bad.
00:23And we were like, where are we going to go?
00:24We thought about Athens, maybe Gainesville.
00:26And we ended up coming straight to Orlando because that's where we played yesterday.
00:29But it was like, there was nowhere else to go that wasn't 40 degrees or colder.
00:33Yeah, chilly outside, but it'll be hot in here tonight.
00:37What's the difference when you do a show like this as opposed to, I've seen you just kill it in just multiple venues, all kinds of.
00:43But you're talking about on a stage with several other artists, acoustic.
00:48How do you kind of process that as opposed to a different, you know, full production deal?
00:52Yeah, I love it to change it up.
00:53I like this better than just being up with me and acoustic guitar.
00:56Sometimes I go through phases where I like just being up with acoustic guitar, too.
00:59But this one's fun because, I mean, you're up there with other artists.
01:02You get to hear other songs.
01:03You get to kind of just sit there and sip on your cocktail while somebody else is playing.
01:09It's like, it's kind of relaxing.
01:11It's a different thing.
01:11And we tour so much.
01:12It's like, I'm looking forward to it.
01:14You get to see Hardy and guys that you grew up with.
01:17And I think Morgan Wallen's here.
01:19And who else is here?
01:21We got Carly Pierce.
01:22We got Michael Ray, which was a last-minute addition.
01:26Love Michael.
01:27He's a Florida boy, too.
01:28He is.
01:28It'll be a good night.
01:30And he's also a sipper.
01:30He likes to sip his cocktail.
01:32That's why he's got it going.
01:33Exactly.
01:34So we're all on the same page.
01:35We're all playing our best songs and then maybe throwing in a song that maybe is just
01:39personal to us, favorite song we've ever written kind of thing.
01:41And then, yeah, it's a good culmination of a lot of great songs on stage.
01:46Speaking of your hit song, Eyes on You, we like to call it, honestly, we call it the
01:52stalker song because it sounds a little bit stalker-esque.
01:56My girl, I'm never going to let you.
01:57If you leave my site, there's going to be a problem.
02:00It doesn't matter.
02:00I will always stare at you.
02:02I'll find you.
02:02Even if she's in that corner booth, it doesn't matter.
02:04I will find you and I will stalk you.
02:07Yeah, I thought that the same day.
02:09Oh, yeah.
02:10It crossed my mind.
02:11I was like, one of the people, and only you and two other people are the only people who've
02:15ever said that, so it's a PSA for stalkers out there.
02:19Please, please, please stop.
02:21So you have left her alone.
02:23Obviously, she's not here right now.
02:24Yeah, she actually, you know, restraining order, and I got in a lot of trouble.
02:29But it doesn't matter.
02:30He's always watching.
02:31It doesn't matter.
02:32I still got eyes on her.
02:34Of course.
02:34That's exactly right.
02:35No, it wasn't actually about one particular girl for the most part.
02:37My ex-girlfriend was actually in the video.
02:39She was a seminal.
02:39But, yeah, she was in that video, but a lot of it was probably inspired by her, but this
02:45was not a song about one trip, one, you know, group of trips that I took with her.
02:49It was just kind of a culmination of all these different, I've said culmination twice in
02:53this video, and I've never said that word.
02:54The word of the day.
02:55You said he was hungover.
02:56I don't believe it.
02:56I literally never said that word.
02:58It's the next level, dude.
02:59I don't know what just happened, but, yeah, it's a hit song.
03:02I'll take it.
03:03Well, congrats.
03:04It's a number one song, and we still get tons of calls and everything for it.
03:07So, congrats to you, man.
03:09I know you worked really hard.
03:10It's been a long journey for you.
03:11It's been a long ride.
03:12I mean, we've had hits, I guess, before with Ready, Set, Roll, Gonna Want It Tonight.
03:16But Eyes on You, to top the charts and stay there for two weeks, that was pretty special.
03:20And now we think we've got another one with Lonely If You Are.
03:22I'll say last night, man, it was great.
03:24Hunter Phelps, I wrote it with him, and he's been on this tour with me, the AMPM tour.
03:28And, my God, they're starting to sing that one like Eyes on You, which is a lot of fun to see.
03:33We'll hear that tonight.
03:34Oh, yeah.
03:34There we go.
03:35Is that how you can tell, too, how it's going to do?
03:38When you perform it that first time in front of your fans, and they start singing along already?
03:43Some of them already probably know the words.
03:45Yeah, it's just a different one, because Eyes on You was out for 50 weeks before we ever put it to radio.
03:50But who's counting?
03:51It was exactly 50 weeks before we put it to radio.
03:53No, I don't.
03:54Something like that.
03:55Yeah.
03:55But it was out for a while before we put it to radio and took it to radio.
03:58So, Lonely If You Are is a first off the next album, so you don't know what's going to happen.
04:02And then it took a minute, but it's like the last three or four weeks, and then especially last night, it was like, oh, my God.
04:09This thing, it gives you a hint of like, and I think we just hit 40 this week.
04:13So, it's got a long ways to go, but it's like, oh, this could be real dangerous and a lot of fun like Eyes on You was.
04:18There he is, Chase Rice.
04:20Get ready to do some sipping, y'all, because he's going to be doing some sipping tonight.
04:23Guitar pool.
04:24And we're going to let him get out there in a few minutes.
04:25Thank you all for being here.
04:26And we're going to let him get out there.
