This week, country music star Brett Young celebrated his ongoing Platinum success with friends, family, and industry supporters just outside of Nashville. The artist added his debut self-titled album and Top 5-and-rising single “Mercy” to a bolstering list of accolades, both crossing the 1 million mark in total consumption. The Platinum milestones follow Brett’s first three singles: “Sleep Without You” (Platinum), “In Case You Didn’t Know” (3x Platinum), and “Like I Loved You” (Platinum). Brett performed the compelling tunes and offered a surprise preview of the first single off his upcoming sophomore album, “Here Tonight,” for his special guests.
“It was surreal being back where I first signed my record deal and seeing how much has happened since then,” Brett shared in a statement. “It’s crazy to think just three years ago I was in the same place just getting started with my team. I wrote this album from such a vulnerable and honest place, so it means the world that these songs have connected with people the way they have. The time has flown by, and I can’t wait to share the new music with fans soon.”
The California native’s self-titled debut album became an instant success upon its release in 2017, dominating the Top 20 on the Country Albums chart for 37 weeks. Delivering four consecutive hits, Brett became one of the genre’s new class of hit-makers as each single climbed to the top of the charts.
Congrats to this deserving singer-songwriter! Share this news with other Brett Young fans!
“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
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
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
