This nominations place him alongside some of the industry's finest artists and highlights his remarkable contributions to the country music genre.
He said of the creative process of the single, "It was [written] the middle of the pandemic. And when I say middle of it, I mean we were spraying boxes with Lysol. And I just couldn't sit through that. I was like, 'We got to work.' And I was in such a dark space because of that; I knew I needed to write. My father had just died a year before. So I'm still learning how to grieve through that. And then I'm like, 'We got to write. I got to get this out of me.' "
Coming from a really dark space, the song has become one of Jelly Roll's brightest feats as he is also nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards. The competition is fierce, with talented artists such as Victoria Monet, Ice Spice, Fred Again, and Gracie Adams vying for the same title.
