“I need a little you time, you time/ Red wine sippin’ in moonlight/ Your touch, your skin/ Your lips kissin’ on me all night/ I ain’t tryin’ to monopolize/ Your 24/7, 365/ But sometimes I need/ Just a little bit of me and/ You time, you time, you time,” he sings.

McCreery will return to the stage for a performance at the Ryman Auditorium on Friday, performing to a sold-out, limited capacity of 125 fans. His performance will be available to live stream HERE.
