Sometimes, all it takes is a simple love song to win over radio and Thomas Rhett scored his seventh career No. 1 by following just that formula alone.

Written by Rhett himself with the help of his talented father, Rhett Akins, the country star sought out inspiration from his lovely muse and wife, Lauren. The up-tempo and cutesy tune serves as an ode to the one he loves and how simple she makes love look with her nonchalant charm. With the song creating the family affair, Rhett felt thrilled to commemorate the big No. 1 news among his closest loved ones.

“I was in Houston this weekend for the Super Bowl when I got the news,” said Rhett. “It made for a really fun start to the game, even though my Falcons didn’t pull through in the end! I’ve always known this song needed to have its moment, so it’s really sweet to be able to celebrate it now and with Lauren and my dad.”

The track, “Star of the Show,” is featured on Rhett’s deluxe version of his album, Tangled Up, which gave fans other popular singles such as “T-Shirt,” “Die a Happy Man,” and “Crash and Burn.” But the romantic song remained a favorite with fans despite not being listed on a record of Rhett’s until recently.

“’Star of the Show’ is one of those songs that I have lived with for a while and kept coming up as a song we needed to record and get to the fans,” explained Rhett previously. “I wrote it with my dad right after I got married, and it was the first song I ever wrote about Lauren. It was a staple in our set before we had any hits and fans still request it to this day.”

Fans can hear “Star of the Show” during Rhett’s live shows soon as he hits the road with Kelsea Ballerini, Russell Dickerson and Ryan Hurd for his headlining Home Team Tour. Fans can find out more information about the tour and tickets on his website.
