## Key points

- Church nearly left “Some Of It” off *Desperate Man*.
- His wife persuaded him to reconsider the song.
- It became the album’s only No. 1 single.

## Summary

Eric Church’s “Some Of It”, the only song from his 2018 album *Desperate Man* to reach No. 1, nearly missed the record after he was initially reluctant to include it. His wife, Katherine Blasingame, kept championing the song, prompting Church to reconsider it and record a new version.

Songwriter Bobby Pinson said Church called the writers with the news after Blasingame played the track for people and urged him to give it another try. Co-written by Church, Pinson, Jeff Hyde and Clint Daniels, the song was released as a single in 2019 and remains one of Church’s most popular. The Grammy-nominated album also featured “Desperate Man” and “Monsters”; Church said the title track grew out of feeling burned out after the 2017 Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting.
