Wicks smells the "Flowers"
The past two years have been difficult for Wicks. Eighteen months ago, Wicks survived a nearly-fatal car crash that left him with a broken neck. He regained his strength to compete as 1 of 11 contenders in NBC's "IRONMAN: Quest For Kona," airing this fall, and recording new music.
"It's been a while since I've put out new music, but I've been writing and recording a lot lately," said Wicks. "When I went back in the studio to record, I decided once something was ready I'd go ahead and release it...why not?"
"Better Than Flowers" was written by Wicks along with Jeffrey East and Michael Lotten. The song is a romantic pop-country.
"Three guys in a room, working with these lyrics, we were all definitely looking down while writing it to avoid eye contact with each other," said Wicks.
Filmed outside Nashville, the steamy "Better Than Flowers" music video features Wicks alongside friend and Olympic Gold Medal gymnast Nastia Luikin. The video captures summer love while showcasing a romantic atmosphere.
Wicks first burst onto the country music scene in 2007 with his debut single "Stealing Cinderella."

CD reviews for Chuck Wicks
Talk about a long break. Chuck Wicks' "Stealing Cinderella" cracked the Top Ten and entered the daddy/daughter dance pantheon forever, way back in 2007. That single was from Wicks' debut record, "Starting Now." Now here we are, and the pride of Smyrna, Del. is ready at last to deliver his sophomore effort. It's true that Wicks has kept busy, moonlighting as a TV host, dancer, actor and general pinup pretty boy. But the years have not been entirely kind. ...
There's a possibility that the name Chuck Wicks doesn't quite ring a bell with you, but he's the guy behind Stealing Cinderella, his debut hit single from 2009. Since then, Wicks has had mid-level success, seeing further singles make respectable gains, but nothing like that first big hit. Now, Wicks is back with "Rough," a five-song EP that showcases some great songwriting and solid delivery and just may be what gets Wicks back in the game.

It isn't often that a country singer kicks off a career with a weepy, contemplative ballad and enjoys a good measure of success right out of the gate. Yet, Chuck Wicks managed to pull it off with his unlikely hit "Stealing Cinderella." And it stirred plenty of emotions - including those of University of Tennessee football coach Phil Fulmer, who asked the Delaware native to perform the song about a young man asking for his girlfriend's hand in marriage at Fulmer's ...
