Best Country Performance by a Group or Duo with VocalsĪnd to note, it is extremely rare for a country song to take home those latter two trophies.Song’s AchievementsĪs of the writing of this post in 2021, with Lady A having released seven studio albums and a slew of singles up until this point, “Need You Now” is still considered to be their signature song. That’s because it accomplished some amazing feats. For instance, this track alone took home four Grammy Awards in 2011. This is actually the title track from Lady Antebellum’s second album. It also came out as the lead single from that undertaking on 11 August 2009. When did Lady Antebellum release “Nee You Now”? And in that regard, they worked with yet another Nashville-based musician, Paul Worley. Meanwhile Lady A, as a band, is acknowledged as the co-producer of “Need You Now”. And they did so alongside Josh Kear, a country songwriter. The aforementioned members of Lady A are credited as co-authors of this song. Lady Antebellum is a trio of musicians direct from Nashville. Having formed in 2006, the crew consists of singer Hillary Scott, singer/guitarist Charles Kelley and multi-instrumentalist Dave Haywood.Īnd as their hometown implies, the group specializes in country music. Moreover, important to note is that as of 2020, in the name of political correctness, they changed their group name from Lady Antebellum to simply Lady A.

Under most circumstances if the relationship has been dead long enough and/or if the separation was harrowing enough, as this one appears to have such a history, such emotions are able to be suppressed.īut for better or worse, the narrator is really in need of hearing the other person’s voice. And s/he is going to give in to that need as opposed to trying to supplant it. Or another way of looking at the scenario is that he or she has fought these emotions long enough to know that occasionally moments do materialize, as it has now, to make the call, whereas contact must be made, even if it is a once in a blue moon type of thing. So considering all of the above, the simplest way to describe the situation at hand is as the vocalist, whether it be the male or female, being in their feelings. Such things happen, when on any given night someone may find themselves missing their ex really well.

And even beyond that, as stated earlier they want to know if the ex-lover also misses them the same. It’s more like they just need to hear the other person’s voice. Indeed Hillary Scott, in her own words, has explained the featured narrative as one in which the vocalist is ‘making a late night phone call’ that he or she ‘could very well regret the next day’. In other words, it’s one of those kinds of situations where, under normal circumstances, you may feel the sensation to hit up an ex but fight the urge to do so. But in this instance, the urgings of the heart have prevailed over attempts at self-control.Īnd just to note, based on the lyrics it doesn’t appear that the vocalist is trying to get back with his or her ex or anything like that. When s/he states “I need you now”, it isn’t like s/he is following up by saying ‘so come over’.

So resultantly, this time around the call is actually made to the ex. And the vocalist (it can be said the male in particular) is quite drunk. But more to the point is said individuals being quite lonely, particularly in the romantic though not explicitly sexual sense of the word. And this does not appear to be the first time such is happening, drunk or not. Moreover, normally this results in him or her likewise wondering if the other person misses them the same and leaving it at that.īut on this specific occasion, apparently being influenced by the booze, inhibition is thrown out the window.

Song i need you now
