00:00Congratulations, both of you. I'm so happy you're here for the Billboard Country Awards.
00:04I wanted to talk a little bit about, obviously, your huge hit you've had this year.
00:08How did that come together?
00:12I actually made the song probably like two years ago.
00:16We knew that we wanted to do a project.
00:20A lot of artists reached out, but Bailey was one of the ones to hop on it and reach back out to me.
00:24When I heard it, I was like, yeah, that's the one.
00:28It was good.
00:30Yeah.
00:32So my side of the story is about three months before X texted me, I saw on Instagram that he was wanting to do a country album, a country project.
00:45And I remember sitting there and going, man, how cool would that be to do a song with him?
00:50I love his music, man. I love his vibe. Everything about him is so cool.
00:53But I guess I'm not. I don't know.
00:56So I threw my phone away.
00:58Three months later, I get a text from him.
01:00He's like, hey, man, do you like this song?
01:02And I'm like, yeah, I like this song.
01:04This song's lit, bro.
01:06And then I hopped on it in like 10 minutes.
01:08I had it done, sent to him, and then it was game over from there.
01:12And yeah, same thing, man.
01:14This guy, he's just legend.
01:16He's so family forward.
01:18He takes care of people.
01:20He's like family, man.
01:22And it's just like, man, it just means a lot, bro.
01:24And he's just been so good to me.
01:26He's allowed me to be on this song.
01:28And just, man, yeah, shout out Big X.
01:30Yeah, let's go.
01:32I love it so much.
01:33Let me put you on the spot.
01:34What is your favorite song that he's done?
01:36Hey, it's safe to say I'm the biggest.
01:42The largest.
01:43Stepping on shoes and my mama stayed in in apartments.
01:46We're going.
01:47Let's go.
01:48I love it.
01:49Well, congratulations to you being an honoree tonight.
01:52I'm so excited and excited for the work that you two have done together.
