T-Shirt - Commentary

We appreciate you listening to Big Machine Radio
And thanks for checking out the Thomas Rhett "Tangled Up" deluxe album release special
I'm Becca and we're talking to Thomas Rhett about the songs on the album
Now another number one hit for you off the original version of Tangled up was "T-Shirt"
But I understand just like the last song we played
"Like It's the Last Time", you actually had "T-Shirt" on your radar for a while
But just couldn't seem to get it on an album

This is the song that really just went through the trenches
Because it was on hold for Tim McGraw up until the day that I actually finished my first record
And then he took it off hold so we couldn't cut it on the first album
And so "T-Shirt" is another song that has been around for a little over a year and
I've actually cut this song three different times trying to figure out how to make it right

"T-Shirt" is just such an infectious song
It's a sexy song and I think the first time you hear it
The chorus melody is immediately stuck in your head
And I love those songs that are like annoyingly stuck in your head
They're so hooky and
I love the usage, and the different colors that they use
With like the guns and the roses and the messed up hair
Just a lot of the imagery of that song is I think what caught me
By surprise when I first heard that title "T-Shirt"

I know every time this song comes on and I'm in the car
I cannot help but rock out and sing
I sound great in my car by the way
Crank it up, it's "T-Shirt" on Big Machine Radio
