Country music star Thomas Rhett’s wife Lauren always has his back, but doesn’t hold back when giving her honest opinion about his music.
“My wife is the first one to be like, ‘It’s not my favorite,'” Rhett recently shared with The Boot and other media outlets. “Or, ‘That’s one of my favorite songs you’ve ever written.'”
So is there a song that he cut against her advice? Yes, and it was a hit.
“She hated ‘Make Me Wanna’ with a passion. Still does,” he confessed. “Every year she asks me, ‘Are you taking ‘Make Me Wanna’ out of the setlist this year?’ But it worked. For the most part, though, Lauren’s been spot on.”
Although the singer-songwriter takes his wife and two young daughters’ thoughts to heart, he sometimes finds himself going after songs that didn’t go over well with his family.
“There are some songs that [none] of them like that I love too much to not cut, but for the most part, I listen to a lot of opinions. At the end of the day, I try to take all those opinions and put ’em in a pot and make a decision for myself,” the star continued. “But my kids do have a huge role in picking song, which is hilarious.”

“Make Me Wanna” Lyrics
Windows down, country sound, FM on the radio
Just me and you and the man on the moon
Cruisin’ down some old back road
Now baby don’t you look at me that way
‘Cause you know there’s only so much I can take
‘Cause you make me wanna
Pull this truck to the side of the road
Slide on over, let me hold you close and tell
You everything I’m thinking
Hop on out and let the tailgate fall
Get drunk on you with no alcohol
If you don’t stop I’m gonna
Girl you make me wanna
Yeah
Hm hm
You know better than to wear that dress
It oughta be against the law, yeah
Plain and simple, girl them dimples
Know just how to turn me on
Now baby don’t you look at me that way
‘Cause you know there’s only so much I can take
‘Cause you make me wanna
Pull this truck to the side of the road
Slide on over, let me hold you close and tell
You everything I’m thinking
Hop on out and let the tailgate fall
Get drunk on you with no alcohol
If you don’t stop I’m gonna
Girl you make me wanna
You make me wanna
Wake up with you
In the bed of my truck and start
Over again when the sun comes up
You make me wanna
Pull this truck to the side of the road
Slide on over, let me hold you close and tell
You everything I’m thinking
Hop on out and let the tailgate fall
Get drunk on you with no alcohol
If you don’t stop I’m gonna
You make me wanna
Pull this truck to the side of the road
Slide on over, let me hold you close and tell
You everything I’m thinking
Hop on out and let the tailgate fall
Get drunk on you with no alcohol
If you don’t stop I’m gonna
Girl you make me wanna
Yeah
