About this song
"Why" was written by Rob Mathes and Allen Shamblin and released as the third single from Rascal Flatts' sixth studio album, Unstoppable. Faith Hill had recorded it earlier for a possible place on her 2005 album Fireflies, but it was left off that record and was eventually released in 2016 on Deep Tracks. The band members said they found it difficult to record because each of them knew someone close to them who had died by suicide.
