Following his record deal with 19 Recordings / RCA Nashville back in September this year after graduating from "American Idol", Danny Gokey releases his first country music single called "It's Only". The track was debuted on Milwaukee radio station FM 106.1. on November 6.
A countrified ballad track, the song is written by Lady Antebellum's members Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley and produced by Mark Bright. It serves as the lead single from Danny's forthcoming RCA debut album which is aimed for March 2010 release.
"It has such a touching lyric. It's so beautiful. I love all the songs that appear on my CD, but this one ... when I sing this song, a passion comes out of me," Danny said of the song. "The song went past the mental element and came directly into my heart. I don't know how to explain it. I feel it when I sing it."
"It's Only" can be streamed on Danny Gokey's MySpace.

Love the new single. it appears to be very representative of Danny and the vocals are fantastic. If the rest of the songs on the albumn are like this...Danny's gonna have a huge hit on his hands! Way to!
The only star to come out of AI this season was Adam Lambert. The rest of them including Gokey are all boring. Adam is the WORLD IDOL.
An amazing song, love it! Danny has a song that reflects what he said he wanted, song's that have a message. This does. Danny so fortunate to have a song writen by such respected writers. I agree Danny sings this song beautifully.Looking forward to the album in March, it is going to be great.
Danny accomplished what he needed to do with the debut single - that is, keep the fans happy but also reach out to new fans in Country Music. And singing a song by highly respected Country Music writers Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood of Lady Antebellum is a huge honor for a new artist. "It's Only" works because Danny stayed trued to who is as an artist. This is the kind of music he enjoys doing. “My Wish” was a huge crowd pleasure on the tour.
I think Danny sings this beautifully. Can't wait for his album!
Danny has set the bar very high with his debut song. "It's Only" is the perfect blend of stunning, distinctive vocals and a beautiful message that comes from the heart. Danny has delivered exactly what he promised. His album can't be released soon enough!
Love the song. It is exactly what type of song I expected for Danny's first single. A powerful ballad with strong vocals and a beautiful message. Can't wait for his album.
Really liking this song. Have always enjoyed Danny's distinctive voice since I first heard him on AI, wasn't completely sure how his country music would sound. It's totally working for me though, great job by Danny and his team. Wish him all possible success.
ummmm...
I absolutely love this new single by Danny Gokey!
Wow! I was pleasantly surprised. Dare I say that Danny’s single – amongst those idols who have released so far – is the most representative who of he is as an artist? The first thing I thought after I heard it was that it’s Danny - the raspy voice, the soaring parts, the phrasing, the lyrics. I think it’s a song tailor-made for him, which is why I think this single actually works. I have never considered myself a hardcore Danny fan or a Country fan, but this is good work right here. Out of all the songs that have been released from this year’s idols, I actually think this is the best. Wow, who would have thought?
no, thank you, no more Sir. bitter.
