Songfacts®:

  • Dylan Scott and his wife, Blair Robinson, were high school sweethearts in their hometown of Bastrop, Louisiana. They first met in the seventh grade before starting to date in their sophomore year. The couple got engaged in December 2015 and married on May 28, 2016, in Bastrop.

    This romantic country ballad finds Scott reflecting on the wonderful blessings he's found in his wife.
  • Scott lays down some love advice for the fellas. He tells them to get themselves a romantic partner who leaves them awestruck, can paint the town red, but still loves Jesus. Even when she's fashionably late, she should be worth the wait. Also, this girl must adore her daddy and talk baby dreams with glee. But don't get any ideas, boys, Scott adds. He's already found a lover just like that, and she's all his.
  • Blair Scott has been her husband's muse on several of his songs, including his breakthrough hit "My Girl" and Top 50 single "Nobody."
  • Dylan Scott released "Can't Have Mine (Find You a Girl)" as the fourth single from his second studio album, Livin' My Best Life. It became his fifth Hot 100 hit when it entered the chart dated October 7, 2023, at #98.
  • Scott wrote the song with songwriters Dallas Wilson and Josh Melton, and his longtime producer, Matt Alderman. Wilson also co-penned the Livin' My Best Life tracks "Nobody" and "Leave Her Alone." Other songs he's contributed to include Mitchell Tenpenny's "Somebody Ain't You" and Lainey Wilson's "Heart Like A Truck."
