Thursday night’s CMA Summer Jam featured a slew of superstar performances and collaborations, including one from Florida Georgia Line and Thomas Rhett.

FGL and Rhett joined forces for a collaborative rendition of FGL’s chart-topping hit, “Round Here,” from their debut studio album, Here’s to the Good Times.

Throwing it back to 2013, the superstars had fans singing and swaying along with the song that celebrates everything there is to love about life in a small town.
