Florida Georgia Line had three of the top five songs in country music for the 2010's with “Meant to Be,” “Cruise” and “H.O.L.Y.”. The rankings were based on streaming numbers, radio airplay and sales.

Tyler Hubbard says they aren't nervous about trying to live up to their previous success, “It just continues to inspire us and push us and motivate us. And we don’t really put tons of pressure on ourselves. We just want to record the best album that we can with every album, and I feel like that’s what we’ve done.”

Brian and Tyler started out as songwriters, and Hubbard added, “We continue to try to surround ourselves with great songwriters and try to master the craft of songwriting as well, and always continue to work on that. So, just doing that alone has helped us continue to push and make better and better music, and hopefully music that the fans can relate to and connect with.”

The duo also co-wrote their current single, “Blessings.”
