Songfacts®:

  • "In "Cab In A Solo," Scotty McCreery takes us on a timeless journey of country heartache. The track paints a poignant picture as McCreery revisits the moment that shattered his world: learning that his former flame had moved on. The raw emotion of a breakup sends him on a journey to her doorstep in a last-ditch effort to mend their love. Yet, fate deals a cruel hand, unveiling a heart-rending sight of her in the arms of another man. The scene leaves him utterly crushed, a lone figure retreating to his truck, where the memories and feelings hit hard.

    As the aromas of Cabernet Sauvignon (cab) fill the air, McCreery pours his sorrows into a glass, finding solace in the cozy cocoon of his truck's cab (solo).
  • McCreery wrote the tune with his producer Frank Rogers and songwriter Brent Anderson (Blake Shelton's "Lonely Tonight," Brad Paisley's "Last Time for Everything"). They penned it during a songwriting retreat in the North Carolina mountains.
  • Frank Rogers, Derek Wells and Drew Bollman's rootsy production pairs McCreery's rich baritone with a nostalgically twangy instrumentation.
