The lyrics are beyond cheesy and are some of the worst we’ve heard from the band since “Bob That Head” or “Me and My Gang.” They tell the unromantic story of a man whose idea of popping the question is asking his mate why they should wait another a day and why not just go to a church where he knows a preacher who can “hook” them up. The production, however, is probably the best part of the song and really saves it from being country pop fluff. It’s somewhat refreshing to hear something like this from the group since they’ve been stuck in a bit of a funk lately. I think the guitar lines, drumbeat, and melody make it extremely pop yet the fiddle and slight steel guitar riffs keep it in the country realm. But, as I listened to the song more, I also found myself saying that its the most country production I’ve heard from them in recent years. When I first heard the song, I thought it was probably the most pop production I’ve heard from the trio. The production on “Why Wait” is an interesting one to me. Once the announcement was made, the group left no time for speculation as to whether they would find a new sound and style. Instead, they unveiled the lead single from their upcoming Nothing Like This album, “Why Wait.” Does the song have what it takes to return Rascal Flatts back to the top of the charts?Ī couple weeks ago the country music industry was blindsided by the announcement of Rascal Flatts’ move to Big Machine Records, the label home of pop country starlet Taylor Swift. With their recent singles not reaching “super hit” status, the Flatts boys are hoping “Why Wait” will help them start off on the right foot at Big Machine. After shocking the music industry by announcing their move to Big Machine Records, Rascal Flatts are now releasing their first single from their first Big Machine album release, Nothing Like This.
