Thomas Rhett is a proud father of three young daughters, and while they’re all probably still too young to understand that dad is a big country star, he jokes, “I hope that our kids think we’re remotely cool when they’re 25 years old. Most kids don’t.”

But more importantly, Thomas prides himself on being a family guy and an entertainer that other people can be comfortable listening to and watching in concert as a family. When he was sitting with some of his frequent co-writers, he said, “All these guys can tell you, when I’m writin’ a song and there’s a line that doesn’t fully represent my ethics or my morals, then it ain’t gonna be in the song.”

Rhett adds, “I just want to make sure that when my kids do hear my songs there’s nothing that they can go to school and say, ‘Well my dad said do that.’ You know what I’m saying? Like that would destroy me, I think.”

Thomas recently played a brand new song called "What's Your Country Song" live on Instagram.

He posted, "What’s your country song. Figured I’d play y’all a new one. Can’t wait to get back on the road and play a real show."
