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.
