Image Courtesy Valory Music Co.Thomas Rhett‘s latest hit, “Make Me Wanna,” is the fifth single from his debut album, It Goes Like This, but he actually wrote it pretty early on his career. The song features a ’70s funk/disco sound, and it wasn’t an immediate hit with Thomas’s record label.

He tells Billboard, “It took a lot of convincing to even get it on the record because at that point, I don’t think the song would have ever worked on country radio. But thank goodness that the label let me cut it and put it on the album.”

Thomas is glad fans get to see the more soulful, artistic side of his sound with “Make Me Wanna.”

He adds, “Maybe this is a breath of fresh air for people. You can’t deny that it makes you feel good — whether you like the song or not, you can bump it on the beach or in your car and it’ll make you feel good.”

Thomas plans to chase more funky sounds on his upcoming sophomore album. He’s halfway finished with the project, but a release date hasn’t been set just yet.
