Can't wait for country star Brett Eldredge's new album, Illinois? It's not out until Sept. 11, but we have your chance to hear one of the songs right now. According to Eldredge, "Wanna Be That Song" is one of his favorite tracks from the album. "I had the idea for this song when I was in an interview and somebody asked me what I wanted to do with my music in 10, 20, 30 years," he told us. "Where do I picture myself with my music? And I just sat there and I thought well, you know, I've seen people starting to dance to my songs and say it was their first dance at their wedding, or maybe it was a song that made them fall in love, or maybe it was a song that just made them want to party when they were in a tough spot in their life. I thought about that, and I was like that's the coolest thing in the world. If I can always do that then I'll always be happy on stage and in writing songs and connecting with people. So I said I want to write a song called 'Wanna Be That Song' and completely capture that moment and those beautiful things in life." Awww.
