Thomas Rhett shares how his new single “Beer Can’t Fix” featuring Jon Pardi came about.
TR wrote the song with Ryan Tedder, Julian Bunetta and Zach Skelton. He recalls the day they created the song.
“On a sunny day in Los Angeles, we were just like, ‘Let’s name all these situations where, just maybe going out with your buddies and crackin’ a cold beer, maybe just takes your mind off of something for a second’,” TR shares, continuing, “Whether you just got broken up with, or you and your wife planned this perfect beach trip to Cancun and it rains every single day. What are you gonna do except go to the bar and be like, ‘Can I get a Corona, please?’ All these situations of like, you’re fishing and nothing’s happening, or you’re playing golf and you’re terrible at it – just kind of the lighthearted way to say, just take life a little bit easier.”
TR knew he wanted Jon Pardi to be a part of the song from the very beginning.
“When we wrote this song, I was like, ‘We’re gettin’ Jon Pardi on this song.’ I’m such a gigantic fan of Jon, like, my wife likes Jon Pardi better than she likes me,” he states. “I was like, ‘Jon, I got this song called ‘Ain’t Nothin’ Beer Can’t Fix.’ I really want you to sing on it with me.’ And I sent him the song, and he goes, ‘When do I sing?’ And when Jon put his vocal on this thing, I was like, ‘Dude, let’s go!'”
“Beer Can’t Fix” will be the third single from Thomas Rhett’s current #1 album Center Point Road available everywhere. The first two “Look What God Gave Her” and “Remember You Young” have hit number one. Those single brought TR’s career total of number ones to 14.
