Introduction
Scotty McCreery’s song “Love Like This” is a heartfelt tribute to the profound emotions he experienced upon becoming a father. Co-written with Frank Rogers and Aaron Eshuis, the track beautifully encapsulates the awe and joy that accompanied the birth of his son, Avery, in October 2022.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of that transformative day: “It was 4:34 on a Monday morning / A miracle in room 235 / Nurse says, ‘Do you wanna hold him?’ / I picked him up and started to cry.” These lines not only chronicle the exact time and place of Avery’s arrival but also convey the overwhelming love that McCreery felt in that moment.
Reflecting on fatherhood, McCreery shared, “Becoming a father is the greatest thing that’s happened to me. Raising Avery as he grows and watching my wife Gabi be a rock star as his Mom has been the joy of my life these last 15 months.” This deep affection is palpable throughout the song, making it a touching ode to his family.
“Love Like This” is featured on McCreery’s album “Rise & Fall,” which showcases his growth as an artist and individual. The album reflects his personal journey, with tracks like “Love Like This” highlighting significant milestones such as fatherhood.

Lyrics
I love the mountains when the leaves start turning
I love the coast when the waves roll in
I love some back porch firewood burning
I love my couch when a long day ends, hmm-mm
But when I first laid eyes on you, hmm-mm
That’s when I knew
I’ve never known a love like this
I’ve never felt this way
Girl, I think I might have thought I did
But everything changed today
‘Cause I’m looking at you, looking at him
And I don’t have a clue what this feelin’ is
But watching you give our baby boy a kiss
Now I know I’ve never known a love like this, no
It was 4:34 on a Monday morning
A miracle in room 235
Nurse says, “Do you wanna hold him?”
I picked him up and started to cry, hmm-mm
Our family of two is now a family of three, hmm-mm
Yeah, now I see
I’ve never known a love like this
I’ve never felt this way
Girl, I think I might have thought I did
But everything changed today
‘Cause I’m looking at you, looking at him
And I don’t have a clue what this feelin’ is
But watching you give our baby boy a kiss
Now I know I’ve never known a love like this
I’ve never known a love like this, no
I never slept so little, I never felt so much
Never sent so many prayers up
Because I’ve never known, I’ve never ever known
I’ve never known a love like this
I’ve never felt this way
Girl, I think I might have thought I did
But our whole world changed today
‘Cause I’m looking at you, looking at him
I don’t have a clue what this feeling is
But watching you give our baby boy a kiss
Now I know, I’ve never known a love like this, no
No, I’ve never known a love like this, no
Hmm-mm
Hmm-mm
