EMI Records Nashville recording artist Tyler Hubbard releases brand new song "5 Foot 9" today. Hubbard produced the track with Jordan Schmidt and wrote the lead single with Jaren Johnston and Chase McGill.
With lyrics highlighting life's small joys before pointing out, "but God makes the good stuff," Hubbard adds, "As much as the song talks about real life stuff like whiskey, country music, dirt roads and rain, I want listeners to be reminded that God really does make the good stuff. For me, over the last couple of years, I've really been reminded of that."
For the past decade, country fans have gotten to know Tyler Hubbard as the lead singer of the multi-platinum-selling, record-breaking duo Florida Georgia Line.
