Songfacts®:

  • "Single Man" contrasts the wild and carefree lifestyle of a bachelor with the bliss of marriage.

    I don't know a single man
    Who'd pick the kick of whisky over your kiss
    Take a neon night over a night like this
    Stay young forever over growing old with you


    It seems for the High Valley duo, life with their lovers is far better than their days as single men.
  • High Valley's Brad Rempel wrote the song with Derick Southerland and Jordan Schmidt.

    "I wanted to be brutally honest," Brad Rempel explained: "Most importantly, I wanted to write a song that said, 'I promise you I wouldn't be able to find any single man on this planet that if he saw what I had - my wonderful wife and my family - he wouldn't say, 'Dude! Can we please trade places?'"
