Sam Hunt's daughter Lucy Lu is nearing nine months old and becoming well aware of her father's presence, which makes him over the moon with joy.
Sam told us earlier this month about Lucy Lu, "She started to perk up and really show interest in me just a few months ago. It seems to be growing, especially if she's fed and napped. If she is happy, she really loves me." Hunt adds that her loving dad doesn't always make it easy for his wife. He explained, "I love it, but Hannah, not so much that she's really focusing in on me, and she's trying to nurse when I am in the room; she just wants to look over her shoulder the whole time, and she doesn't want to eat. I have to leave the room a lot of times when she wants me to be quiet. I can't play guitar in the other room or stomp around because she's becoming more aware of me."
Sam even notices that when he has to give the baby girl to someone else for care, Lucy wants to stay with dad. He recalled, "I went to hand her off to the babysitter the other day, and she grabbed onto my shirt to hang on, and that was a special little moment. I think she is becoming more and more aware of dad."

Hunt recently released a new song called "Walmart." Hunt and co-writers Zach Crowell, Shane McAnally, and Josh Osborne write about how life has a way of working out. Sam transports the listener to a small-town run-in with an ex's mother.
The song's chorus includes the lyrics, "I saw your mama at Walmart with your little girl / She had your eyes and your smile, she had your nose and your lips / Somewhere in our little small-town, small talk girl / Lost in the grocery aisle, holding a bag of some chips / I realize that everything happens for a reason / Losing your love ain't the end of the world / I saw your mama at Walmart with your little girl / Your little girl, your little girl."
Sam Hunt came into country music and made his mark in 2014 with his debut album Montevallo, which was nominated for Best Country Album at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards in 2015. His towering, good looks made Sam an instant country star. Let's take a look at and countdown his eight best songs.
8. "House Party" (2015)
UMGAn upbeat fun song and a big hit for Sam. It’s one of his signature songs.
7. "Break Up in a Small Town" (2015)
UMGHunt discussed the process of making the song, saying it was born when he was "singing that chorus melody late one night while riding around trying to come up with song ideas.”
6. "Take Your Time" (2014)
UMGIn the music video for this song, his second radio single, Sam fights a man who was abusing his girlfriend, freeing up the woman to leave with her baby. This song was actually promoted to pop radio six months after its country release.
5. "Breaking Up Was Easy in the 90s" (2020)
UMGHunt said of writing the song's content, "In the 90s, there was no Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or more, so break ups in the 90's were not easier. The trick was not filling it up with a bunch of technology references and trying to find the story within it. It's just the world's so much smaller now."
4. "Body Like a Back Road" (2017)
UMGThis song spent 20 weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart – this made Sam the solo country artist with the second longest run at the top of the 59-year-old “Hot Country Songs” chart. Hank Snow's, "I'm Moving On" spent 21 weeks at the top.
3. "Kinfolks" (2019)
UMGAnother chart-topper for Hunt. Rolling Stone reviewed the song saying in part, "Acoustic guitar arpeggios that lead into big, bright choruses of banjo, vocal snippets, and wah-wah guitar." Well said.
2. "Leave the Night On" (2014)
UMGThe first song that introduced us to this former football player from Georgia. It was his first single, and his first number one song.
1."Hard to Forget" (2020)
UMGJust as music critics started saying that Sam just wasn’t country enough, he kicked off a song with an original recording of Webb Pearce’s 1953 hit, “There Stands The Glass.”
