I just want a love that’s strong and true
One soul in the world that knows what I’ve been through
Each time I look over my shoulder, I know that someone’s got my back
And you love me like that
And you don’t want a rich man
With something to prove
You just want to know every love song I write is about you
Hood says, “I wrote this with Sean McConnell back in 2016. He was sitting at the piano in the writer’s room when I got there. He played the first few lines and I fell right in. It felt like the song wrote itself. The lines just came. It’s what you hope for every time you sit down with an idea, but it rarely actually happens. It’s almost like you’re there to write down a song that’s ‘given’ to you. A song that’s bigger than you.” 
He continues, “It’s also very special that such a personal song can resonate with others so well. There are quite a few songs written about being married to a ‘music man,’ but ask my wife and I bet she’ll tell you that one more song spoken with a little sincerity is very welcome! There’s so much that goes unseen and unsaid in our day-to-day lives and I’m thankful to have a song to remind me of what REALLY matters when things get overwhelming. I think that’s the sentiment that I see resonate with others when I play this song. Trials and troubles are NOT specific to the music world, but there’s power in saying ‘I am not alone.’ Who doesn’t want to be loved unconditionally for exactly what and who they are?” This new song comes on the heels of Hood’s critically-acclaimed sixth studio album, Bad Days Better, which was released late last year. Saving Country Music called the album “some of the best songs of his career.” Thanks to the success of Bad Days Better, along with his storied success through the years, Hood made his Grand Ole Opry debut in October and will be returning on February 24.

For more than 2 decades, Adam Hood has left his mark onstage and in the writing room, carving out a southern sound that mixes soul, country, and American roots music into the same package. It’s a sound that began to take shape in Opelika, Alabama. Raised by working-class parents, Hood started playing hometown shows as a 16 year-old, landing a weekly residency at a local restaurant. He’d perform there every Friday and Saturday night, filling his set list with songs by John Hiatt, Steve Warner, Hank Williams Jr, and Vince Gill. As the years progressed, the gigs continued — not only in Alabama, but across the entire country, where Hood still plays around 100 shows annually. These days, though, he’s no longer putting his own stamp on the songs of chart-topping country stars. Instead, many of those acts are playing his music. Little Big Town, Miranda Lambert, Travis Tritt, Riley Green, Whiskey Myers, Anderson East, Frankie Ballard, Josh Abbott Band, Lee Ann Womack, and Brent Cobb are among the dozens of artists who’ve recorded Hood’s songs. An in-demand songwriter, while still maintaining a busy schedule of tour dates in support of his third solo release, Welcome to the Big World and two years later, he continues the balancing act with his album, Somewhere in Between. In 2022, Hood released his critically-acclaimed sixth studio album, Bad Days Better, recorded at Capricorn Studios in Macon, Georgia with the help of members of Blackberry Smoke, and Brent Cobb in the producer’s chair. “It’s southern music,” he says, “That’s what it represents: the soulful side of southern music, the country side of southern music, the genuineness of southern culture, and the way I grew up. One of the t-shirts I sell at every show simply says ‘Southern songs’ and that’s a good summary of what I do. It’s what I’ve always done.”
