Next Thing You Know

About this song

Jordan Davis wrote the song with Chase McGill, Greylan James, and Josh Osborne at a songwriting session in June 2022, and it was released in August 2022 as the third single from his second studio album, Bluebird Days. Producer Paul DiGiovanni used several unconventional arrangements on the recording, including guitar parts played twice on opposite audio channels and a snare drum played with bare hands. Due to demand from Davis's fans, it was sent to country radio in February 2023, replacing the label's original choice of "Tucson Too Late" as the album's third single. The song was nominated for Single, Song and Video of the Year at the 57th Annual Country Music Association Awards.

What it's about

Davis came up with the idea of using the title to follow a romance, from a couple's first encounter through their marriage and the birth of a child. The music video shows the same couple across three time periods, from meeting to growing old.
