Following her Charlie Daniels’ tribute performance, Ashley McBryde performed her first Top 10 hit single “One Night Standards” on Wednesday, November 11 at the 54th CMA Awards.
“Our first Top 10 and it came at such a good time for us because things were going so well for us and then of course everything went crazy and shut down and for us to get a Top 10 right now, we really needed that,” McBryde said ahead of the performance. “so I think it’s gonna be a nice send off for that single.”
“One Night Standards” is the lead single from McBryde’s sophomore album, Never Will. The track was co-written by McBryde alongside Nicolette Hayford and Shane McAnally, produced by Jay Joyce.
