Here, Kane Brown likens his adoration for his girl to his love for classic country music. He tips his hat to Willie Nelson, George Jones, Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, all of whom reach his heart the same way his lady does. He also namechecks two classic '90s numbers: Alan Jackson's "Chattahoochee" and Brooks and Dunn's "Brand New Man." Both Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn lend vocals to this boot-stompin' song. Ronnie sings the "Oh, I'm a Brand New Man" line, and Kix croons the "Yeah, I love country music" lyric. "I was honestly shocked they were jumping on it," Brown said to Audacy's Katie Neal of Brooks and Dunn's contributions. "It's crazy how impactful it is talking about somebody's song, and then they're on it!" Brown wrote this '90s-inspired ode to romance and country music alongside Jordan Schmidt, Taylor Phillips, and Matt McGinn during a 2019 writer's retreat on his tour bus. Brown was at the back finishing another track, "BFE," then later joined Schmidt, Phillips, and McGinn at the front after they'd already started "Like I Love Country Music." "At first, I wasn't really vibing with it," he admitted to Country Now, but he quickly became more positive. "Whenever it took off, it just wrote itself, and it all just blended in so well." They recorded a demo, and Brown even recorded and mastered the song, intending to include it on his 2020 release Mixtape Vol. 1, but then he fell out of love with it. But on tour in early 2022, Brown listened to the demo and it hit him differently. "So we took it back into the studio and made it hit harder," he said. "I re-sang it. Because I feel like my vocals have got a lot stronger than they used to be, and I just fell in love with it again." Dan Huff's production mixes 1990s fiddle and steel guitar with a modern drum track. Brown's 2018 song "Short Skirt Weather" has a similar '90s country-influenced sound. Dan Huff plays the dobro, mandolin and electric guitar (along with Derek Wells) on the track. The other musicians are: Acoustic Guitar: Ilya Toshinskiy Steel Guitar: Paul Franklin Bass: Jimmie Lee Sloas Drums: Aaron Sterling Fiddle: Stuart Duncan Piano and organ: Dave Cohen Background Vocals: Josh Reedy Kane Brown channels his inner cowboy in the video. We see him pull up to a honky-tonk in his pickup truck and perform the song to the patrons while wearing a cowboy hat, vest and jeans.
