Background[edit]

Rhett was originally scheduled to co-write the song with David Barnes and Julian Bunetta, however, he was sick on the day and was therefore absent at the writing session.[7] Bunetta then send Rhett the demo the next day and Rhett said he was 'blown away by the longing-ness of the story'.[8]Maren Morris contributed vocals on the song and recorded her parts in an hour.[7] However, it was not decided whether her vocals would be used until later as Rhett thought the song may not be 'really a duet song'. His producer then sent him a version with just his vocal, and then another version with Morris on it; Rhett said: 'I think me and my wife and my team were just collectively like 'Wow, she adds such a crazy element to the song.'[9]

Thomas Rhett Craving You Live

“I’m so incredibly proud of ‘Craving You.’ It transports me right back to the eighties,” the 26-year-old singer said in a statement. “There’s that Phil Collins-sounding drum, the stuttered bass notes. I’m a huge lover of the music from that genre and I think this song taps right into that vibe. And my fans know that I thrive on being unpredictable.”

“Every song is written for a reason, but it felt like this one was meant for me,” Thomas added. “I remember texting Maren and asking if she would sing on the song. She came over and just blew me away. I was amazed at how much her voice fit the song. Having a woman on the song made it twice as craving – a guy and a girl, obsessed with each other. I think that’s relatable.”
