Eric Church Says Top 5 Hit, ā€œSome Of It,ā€ Almost Wasn’t Included on ā€œDesperate Manā€ Album

Eric Church has another Top 5 hit on his hands with ā€œSome of It,ā€ which is the second single from his 2018 album, Desperate Man.

Co-penned by Eric, Jeff Hyde, Clint Daniels and Bobby Pinson, ā€œSome of Itā€ finds Eric dispensing ā€œsomeā€ fatherly advice during the chorus: ā€œSome of it you learn the hard way / Some of it you read on a page / Some of it comes from heartbreak / Most of it comes with age / And none of it ever comes easy / A bunch of it you maybe can’t use / I know I don’t probably know what I think I do / But there’s something to some of it.ā€

According to Eric, ā€œSome of Itā€ almost didn’t make the track list for Desperate Man. It was only after his wife, Katherine, played the song for a friend that Eric decided to revisit his upcoming track list.

ā€œI was playing the album for a dear friend of ours, and my wife was with me, and it was just the three of us playing the album, and my wife said, ā€˜But let me play you what didn’t make it,ā€™ā€ says Eric. ā€œAnd the first thing she played was ā€˜Some of It.’ I hadn’t listened to it in a while, and it was always a favorite song of mine, and I listened to it that night and went, ā€˜I’m gonna regret if I don’t record this song.’ I think my hesitation was because, initially, all the stuff that I thought was gonna be the pillars for this album just bombed, so I was scared of that song. But I think it’s really interesting that the album took on an identity that allowed ā€˜Some of It’ to make it from where it started to where it is now.ā€

Where it is now? No. 3 on the Mediabase chart.
