Lady Antebellum – Need You Now

“Need You Now” – Single by Lady Antebellum from the album Need You Now.
Released on August 11, 2009.
Songwriters: Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley,Dave Haywood,Josh Kear.

It serves as the lead-off single and title track to their second studio album of the same name, and it features lead vocals from both Scott and Kelley. The song also served as their debut single in the UK and Europe, where it was released May 3, 2010. It won four Grammy Awards in 2011, including for Song of the Year and Record of the Year, the only country song to win both honors since “Not Ready to Make Nice” by the Chicks (known at the time as the “Dixie Chicks”) won in 2006.

This song was the first by a country group to reach the Hot 100’s Top 10 for over two and a half years. The previous one to do so was Dixie Chicks’ “Not Ready To Make Nice,” which reached #4 in March 2007.

A music video was shot for the song, directed by Dave McClister. In the video the song has an extended piano intro, and features all members of the group acting out scenes related to the storyline. The song was initially released only to the country radio format in the United States and Canada on August 24, 2009, but was remixed and re-released to all other formats domestically and internationally at the beginning of 2010. The song gained prominence internationally, in Europe and South America. The trio re-recorded the song again in Simlish to accompany the release of the Sims 3 expansion pack Ambitions.[12] By April 17, 2011, the song became the ninth most downloaded song in history, moving five million copies, and surpassed Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” as the most downloaded country song in history. It has since sold over 6 million copies in the US.
