• Before Brett Eldredge started recording Sunday Drive, he decided to spend some time by himself without any distractions. The singer rented a little beach cottage in an isolated part of Southern California hoping to figure himself out a little bit.
  
  Eldredge was alone for weeks with just a flip phone, pen and notepad. The solitary experience birthed this jazz-tinted piano ballad about those people you simply can't erase from your memory.
  
  Not a day goes by
  You don't crowd my mind
  
  "It was raining for two weeks straight, and I just felt this sense of loneliness, but also this sense of longing for the connections that I had and the people that really shaped me," he recalled to The Boot. "It was so reflective, and it was so powerful, and I really had some trouble on that trip, but I also felt like a sense of me was gained back, and a sense of needing that connection in my life."
• When Eldredge got back to Nashville, he sat down with co-writer Ross Copperman and wrote what he was feeling about those people we carry with us through our lives. "There's certain people that just crowd your mind," he said. "You can't let go of [them] no matter where you go."
