Triple Tigers recording artist Scotty McCreery joined ABC’s “Good Morning America” to perform “It Matters to Her” yesterday, June 14. Joined by wife Gabi and seven-month-old son Avery, McCreery and his band launched into his latest smash hit and fastest rising song of his career. Watch the performance HERE.

Written by McCreery, Rhett Akins and Lee Thomas Miller, “It Matters to Her” highlights some of the wisdom the North Carolina native has gleaned through his marriage to Gabi, as the couple prepares to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary this month.

“I'm still learning, trust me — got a long way to go,” McCreery shared with PEOPLE. “But it’s what I’ve learned so far. We put it all into a song, and it’s got a little kind of country vibe that I grew up with, and I just love it. I turn it up whenever it’s on the radio.”

“It Matters to Her” followed RIAA Platinum-certified No. 1 “Damn Strait” and RIAA Gold-certified No. 1 “You Time,” all found on his latest album Same Truck: The Deluxe Album. McCreery has earned five consecutive No.1 hits in the last few years.

Tonight, McCreery rejoins the Brooks & Dunn REBOOT Tour 2023 for three final shows this weekend before heading back out on the road in July for 25+ headlining dates through the fall.

McCreery is among six inductees in the 2023 class scheduled to be enshrined in the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame during the annual induction ceremony this fall. The induction ceremony will take place on Thursday, October 19, 2023 at the Mooresville Performing Arts Center in Mooresville, N.C. VIP and General Reserved tickets are available HERE.

About Ronnie Milsap
Country Music Hall of Famer. Forty #1s. Five decades of charted singles. Creating a new way of recording (being blind his hyper-attuned hearing led him to create/build what is now known as Ronnie’s Place), he broke genre rules and became one of the biggest pop/AC and even R&B artists of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s.

Six Grammys. CMA Entertainer of the Year and four Album of the Year Awards. The first country video played on MTV (the ironic “She Loves My Car”). An early champion of NFL star Mike Reid, who wrote many of Ronnie’s #1 hits and who’d go on to write Bonnie Raitt’s second most enduring classic, “I Can’t Make You Love Me.”
 
Always chasing the music, always hungry for the songs, he is now an inspiration for a new generation of country stars from critical standard setters Kacey Musgraves and Little Big Town to CMA/ACM Entertainers of the Year Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean, as well as a standard-setter for friends like Dolly Parton, George Strait, Willie Nelson, Steven Curtis Chapman and even groundbreakers Leon Russell and Billy Gibbons.
