Background

[edit | edit source]

Pritchett was at a publishing house in Nashville, Tennessee, where he heard approximately 60 songs in 45 minutes — including the future number one "Dive Bar" — and he said "not a thing hit".[7] Upon hearing "Better When I Do", which had been written over six years prior and held then passed on by several artists, Pritchett felt an instant connection and knew he had to record it.[6] He stated he "[tends] to favour a bit more edge and some of those pop tinges".[7]

"Better When I Do" reached a peak of #1 on the Billboard Canada Country chart dated April 6, 2019,[8] marking Pritchett's first chart-topper,[9] 19 years after his debut radio single.[10]
