Rascal Flatts Burst Onto The Country Music Scene In 2000
'Prayin' For Daylight' Was Their First Big Chart-Topper
The tune went to number three on the Billboard Country Music chart, per Spotify. The songwriters responsible for it, Rick Giles and Steve Bogard, talked about its genesis to Bart Herbison of Nashville Songwriters Association International. via The Tennessean.
Bogard said, "We were finished within a couple hours. We questioned the shortness of the first verse and the way it rhymed and how quickly it got to the chorus, at first. Then we said, "No, we'll just write something different." That's the thing about a steady co-writing relationship. Sometimes you're more willing to color outside the lines and do something different."
A classic hit was thus born!
