Already a #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, “I Remember Everything” is now headed to country radio too.
Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves are officially sending their duet to country stations across the United States, which radio insider Chris Owen confirmed in a tweet earlier today.
The song will impact immediately, and already debuted at #60 on the U.S. Billboard Country Airplay chart as of this past Friday (one of two charts labels use to officially track their songs performance, along with the Mediabase chart).
From Zach’s recently-released self-titled album, which also debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart last week and remained their for a second straight week, I have a feeling this one will have a swift climb to the top of the country charts, as well:
I was obsessed with “I Remember Everything” from the very first listen, and it’s honestly even better than I hoped it would be. I mean, how amazing is it when two of your favorite artists get together and deliver a song that’s this damn good? It makes being a fan of music so much fun.
The heartbreaking tune, written by Zach and Kacey, finds the narrators reminiscing on a past relationship and admitting that they remember every little moment and fleeting evening they spent together:
“Cold shoulder at closing time,
You were begging me to stay ’til the sun rose,
Strange words come out of a grown man’s mouth
When his mind’s broke
Pictures and passing time
You only smile like that when you’re drinking
Wish I didn’t but I do
Remember every moment from the night’s with you”
There’s something so forlorn and magical, yet heartbreaking about it, and I simply cannot get enough. I was hoping that I would be able to say I love it as much as I do, and I’m happy to report that I am, quite literally… obsessed.
And in a crazy turn of events, Kacey shared on Instagram that she actually had “full blown strep” when she recorded her vocals, which makes it all the more impressive because she really sounds perfect.
She added that only confirmed what she already knew about it, though: “This song is sick as f*ck.”
Amen to that…
“‘I Remember Everything’ – out now. Thank you, Zach Bryan for having me collab on this gorgeous song. I definitely pulled some of my own life into it.
Fun fact, y’all: I had full blown strep when I recorded this song but somehow I pushed through. So it’s confirmed: this song is sick as fuck.”
Kacey’s pure and beautiful voice contrasts so beautifully with Zach’s more gruff, raw vocals, and this is by far and away one of my favorite singles released this year, and I don’t see how anyone else is going to top it.
I don’t know what they put in this song, but clearly it’s working on every single level… now we just need them to perform it together somewhere live (and maybe make another song together in the meantime).
