Country music hit-makers Florida Georgia Line and Bebe Rexha’s collaboration “Meant to Be” has hit number one on both the Billboard and Country Aircheck/Mediabase Country radio airplay charts this week. This marks Florida Georgia Line’s 14th career number one hit.
Also notching their 21st consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, the country duo have two of the three longest-leading No. 1s on the chart with a previous 24-week stay for their 2012 breakout “Cruise.” In addition, FGL and Rexha are No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard Radio Songs chart (third week), plus Top 5-and-climbing on The Hot 100 all-genre chart. They’re chart-topping Mediabase’s Hot AC (second week) as well.
“From day one, this song was just meant to be,” shares co-writer Tyler Hubbard. “Bebe jumped in on a canceled writing session last minute and now it’s going down in history.”
Brian Kelley adds, “It’s been nothing but good vibes to see it take off and inspire. Its message is a positive one and why I think it’s connecting with those who hear it. We can’t thank Country radio enough for all of the support.”
Penned by Hubbard and Rexha alongside Josh Miller and David Garcia, “Meant to Be” has surpassed 784 million global streams with nearly 4.4 million copies sold worldwide while setting fire to both Country and Pop radio simultaneously. Their free-and-easy music video for the fated anthem has racked up over 356 million views and counting.

“Meant to Be” Lyrics
Baby, lay on back and relax, kick your pretty feet up on my dash
No need to go nowhere fast, let’s enjoy right here where we at
Who knows where this road is supposed to lead
We got nothing but time
As long as you’re right here next to me, everything’s gonna be alright
If it’s meant to be, it’ll be, it’ll be
Baby, just let it be
If it’s meant to be, it’ll be, it’ll be
Baby, just let it be
So, won’t you ride with me, ride with me?
See where this thing goes
If it’s meant to be, it’ll be, it’ll be
Baby, if it’s meant to be
I don’t mean to be so uptight, but my heart’s been hurt a couple times
By a couple guys that didn’t treat me right
I ain’t gon’ lie, ain’t gonna lie
‘Cause I’m tired of the fake love, show me what you’re made of
Boy, make me believe
But hold up, girl, don’t you know you’re beautiful?
And it’s easy to see
If it’s meant to be, it’ll be, it’ll be
Baby, just let it be
If it’s meant to be, it’ll be, it’ll be
Baby, just let it be
So, won’t you ride with me, ride with me?
See where this thing goes
If it’s meant to be, it’ll be, it’ll be
Baby, if it’s meant to be
So, c’mon ride with me, ride with me
See where this thing goes
So, c’mon ride with me, ride with me
Baby, if it’s meant to be
Maybe we do
Maybe we don’t
Maybe we will
Maybe we won’t
But if it’s meant to be, it’ll be, it’ll be
Baby, just let it be
If it’s meant to be, it’ll be, it’ll be (c’mon)
Baby, just let it be (let’s go)
So, won’t you ride with me, ride with me?
See where this thing goes
If it’s meant to be, it’ll be, it’ll be
Baby, if it’s meant to be
If it’s meant to be, it’ll be, it’ll be
Baby, if it’s meant to be
If it’s meant to be, it’ll be, it’ll be
Baby, if it’s meant to be
