Last updated 21st Feb 2018
Peaking at No. 1 on the Mediabase chart and at No. 4 on Billboard‘s Country Airplay in October 2017, Kip Moore's 'More Girls Like You' was bound to be celebrated at some point and that point was last week at Nashville's Hutton Hotel. The song was co-written by Kip Moore, Steven Lee Olsen, Josh Miller and 'Slowheart‘s' co-producer, David Garcia.
Guests included staff from Moore’s label, MCA, his bandmates and a host of other Music Row insiders.
Before the party, Garcia told members of the press that the song almost wasn’t a Moore hit. On the evening they were scheduled to write together, Moore almost missed the appointment to go wake-boarding.
“Luckily,” Garcia said, “Our publisher, Nate, called Kip right as he was about to leave. And being the kind of guy Kip is, he doesn’t like to cancel. So he canceled that instead to write with us.”
Moore expressed that he felt lucky to be in the room that evening.
“These guys know what a maniac I am,” he said, “and they will write until 2 o’clock in the morning if that’s what the song calls for. And I love that.”
He also made a point to thank those who were most important to him.
“To any of the fans that have stuck with me through thick and thin, through all the Wild One up and downs, I just feel so blessed.
“I know this could be the last time I’m up here. I’m very well aware of that. I hope not, but if it is, thank you all for the ride. And for the people that have been behind me, and I’m truly grateful for this life and everything that has come with it.
