Kenny Chesney Says New Chart Topper ‘Was This Awesome Rush’

Kenny Chesney says he knew he had something special with “Here And Now,” the title song off his new album and his 31st chart topping 31st song.

Kenny told us, “What you put out first says everything about what your record is. Maybe it’s old school, but I like the idea that we’re setting not just a moment, but a way of approaching life that reflects the spirit of No Shoes Nation. I am always amazed and rocked by how they face life. They really know how to grab the moment and make the most of whatever it might be.”

He continued, “I don’t think you cut songs to set records, but I can say it feels amazing to know other people feel what you’re trying to put into the world."

Chesney added, “When we recorded ‘Here And Now,’ it was this awesome rush that captured the peak moments, finding them in your day, creating them and not just waiting around for them to happen. It was the perfect song as we were all getting ready for another summer of shows. But now, in some ways, this song is even more in the moment because we all have to remember to find joy.”
