• This is the title track of Jon Pardi's debut album, which was the product of moving from his hometown in California to Nashville in 2008 to pursue his dreams of music. "That was a big move," he said. "It's not just moving six hours. It was 3500 miles of driving. It was three days. So, [being] the new guy in town, [and I'm] trying to find a place to live, trying to find cool people to hang out with, and then you got to try to find a gig, and you got to write songs, and you got to find co-writers."
• The songs on the album were inspired by Pardi's life since moving to Nashville. "This album, it does represent the past four years we've been touring around playing everywhere - Mexican restaurants, stadiums, honkytonks, bars, car lots, conference rooms," he said. "I've been singing these for a long time, and I'm excited to get it out there. It does represent some relationship stuff, some going through just regular life in general, meeting ladies on the road, saying goodbye to the ladies on the road, and it's got a lot of everything in there from the past four years."
• This was the second song Pardi ever co-wrote in Nashville back in 2009 or 2010. "It just stuck for so long," he said. "That's a long time to just stick around, but once you hear it, it's just so in your face and it's fun."
• Though the song mirrored Pardi's life as a touring musician, it's not autobiographical. "It's talking about this guy that tours around the country in a van, and he'd always meet girls at shows, and he's just having fun and they're having fun," said the singer. "It doesn't sound like me at all, you know, it doesn't sound like me at all. But this song has brought that guy to life, who's not me, I'm just saying. It's about writing chicks songs."
• So why did Pardi title his debut album after this track? "As I listen to the 11 songs, 'Write You a Song,' sticks out, and that's why it's the title track," he said. "It's like you want to have a title for your essay you turned in in high school, or you have a title for your track list. Boom – 'Write You a Song.'"
