Right now, this song is one of the biggest hits in the world! It made history as the first song by a woman to hit number one on three major Billboard country music charts simultaneously. It has been streamed over 310 million times and is officially a Platinum hit.
Just a few weeks ago, the song swept the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards, winning seven major awards, including Song of the Year and Single of the Year.
Before Lucas made the song go viral again, another American Idol star had already shared it. Hannah Harper, the amazing singer who actually won Lucas’s season, recorded her own version of the track. Fans loved Hannah’s cover so much that even the original singer, Ella Langley, noticed and left a sweet comment!
