“Can this year get any better?” Asked an ecstatic Scotty. “A couple of months ago, Five More Minutes becomes my first No. 1 hit, then Seasons Change debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart. Now, I learn Five More Minutes has been certified Platinum! The only thing that can top this is my upcoming wedding happening in a few weeks. 2018 is my favorite year ever! Thank you to all the fans who bought the song, who streamed it, who requested it at radio and who come out to the shows, watching your reaction to Five More Minutes recharges me each night on the road. You guys mean everything to me.”
Scotty wrote Five More Minutes with Frank and Monty in 2015 just two weeks after the passing of his paternal grandfather who served as the inspiration for the song. The touching tune, which People Magazine calls “an emotional walk down memory lane,” also topped the Music Row Country Breakout Chart.
