Tim McGraw Returns With Self-Reflective New Single ‘Standing Room Only’ Tim McGraw returns with an introspective new song.
“Standing Room Only.”“I wanna live a life … like a dollar and the clock on the wall don’t own me,” McGraw sings on the new track, with a live-life-to-the-fullest message similar to that of his 2004 hit “Live Like You Were Dying.”
The lyrics to “Standing Room Only” elevate forgiveness and human connection — or as the song goes, “Live a life so when I die/ There’s standing room only.
Standing Room Only” was written by Craig Wiseman, Tommy Cecil and Patrick Murphy, with production from Byron Galli more and McGraw.
Wiseman also co-wrote “Live Like You Were Dying,” which spent seven weeks atop Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart.McGraw recently talked about “Standing Room Only” on The Bobby Bones Show, saying,
Lyrically, there’s not a wasted line anywhere in this song. It’s such an impeccably written song, and then the melody I love.
When you get into the studio to record, you’re scared to death that you are going to go in and screw up a song.
Humble and Kind,’ I had that song for a year before I recorded it, because when you hear [“Humble and Kind” songwriter] Lori McKenna sing with just an acoustic guitar, it just doesn’t get much better than that.
Tim McGraw released the lead single (and title track), “Standing Room Only,” from his upcoming 17th studio album, which is slated to drop later this year.
Penned by Craig Wiseman, Tommy Cecil, and Patrick Murphy, “Standing Room Only” was co-produced by Byron Gallimore and McGraw.
