Scotty McCreery Has A Top 10 Single With "Bottle Rockets"
McCreery currently has a Top 10 single with "Bottle Rockets," his collaboration with Hootie & the Blowfish. The song is from his latest Scooter & Friends EP, out now.
"This song takes me back to those summers of having fun with no responsibilities with good times and good tunes," McCreery says of the song. "For me growing up in the Carolinas, Hootie & the Blowfish were just massive and such a huge part of great summers growing up. That's what this song 'Bottle Rockets' is about."
"Bottle Rockets" includes Hootie & the Blowfish's iconic "Hold My Hand" song. McCreery wrote the song at a writing retreat, which also included his frequent collaborator, Frank Rogers.
"I had mentioned how much I loved Hootie & the Blowfish," McCreery tells Billboard. "And Frank being from South Carolina and a frequent collaborator with Darius [Rucker] knew exactly what to do with that. We started strumming the tune that would eventually become 'Bottle Rockets.' And at the end of the makeshift chorus we had at that point, Frank went into 'Hold My Hand.'
"It fit like a glove," he continues. "Everyone was laughing and high-fiving because we knew we were on to something. The song really just spilled out from there."
