Country music singer-songwriter Brett Young has a big reason to celebrate--- "Mercy" has hit No. 1 on Billboard's Country Airplay Chart this week!

Country music hit-maker Brett Young has earned his fourth consecutive chart-topper as “Mercy” tops the Billboard Country Airplay chart this week. Young and Sean McConnell co-wrote the tune, joining three consecutive No. 1 Country Airplay releases from the star. The heartfelt ballad also recently reached the Platinum-sales benchmark.

“We knew pretty early that ‘Mercy’ had to be a single because of the way the fans respond when I played it live,” the artist shared in a statement. “I wrote this song from a really vulnerable and honest place, so to see it go No. 1 is really special.”

The California native’s live performance of “Mercy” from June’s CMA Fest will broadcast via ABC this Wednesday, August 8th at 8:00PM ET / 7:00PM CT. Congrats to Brett on his latest success!

“Mercy” Lyrics

Mercy
Why you gotta show up lookin so good just to hurt me
Why you wanna stop this whole damn world from turning
Mercy
Why you hanging on so tight if this ain’t working
Why you wanna stop this flame if it’s still burning
Cause it’s still burning

So if you’re gonna break my heart, just break it
And if you’re gonna take your shot, then take it
Take it
If you made up your mind, then make it
Make this fast
If you ever loved me
Have mercy

If you go out tonight and get drunk and lonely
Wind up home alone
Please don’t call me
And say you miss me
No

If you’re gonna break my heart, just break it
And if you’re gonna take your shot, then take it
Take it
If you made up your mind, then make it
Make this fast
If you ever loved me
Have mercy

Woah
Oh have mercy

If you’re gonna break my heart, just break it
If you’re gonna take your shot, take it
Take it
Oh if you’re gonna break my heart, just break it
And if you’re gonna take your shot, then take it
Take it
If you made up your mind, then make it
Make this fast
If you ever loved me
Mmmh if you ever loved me
Have mercy
Oh have mercy
Oh have mercy
Have mercy
