Rhett unveils "What Could Go Right" with Gardner

Friday, March 21, 2025 – Thomas Rhett today unveiled the song "What Could Go Right," featuring Lanie Gardner.

Originally featured on his album "About a Woman," Gardner's powerful vocal adds a new dimension. Co-written with Rocky Block, John Byron and Josh Kerr, Rhett wrote the song about the excitement and uncertainty that marked the beginning of his own relationship with his wife, Lauren.

"In the back of my mind, I always envisioned 'What Could Go Right' being a feature on the album. When I first heard Lanie's cover of 'Dreams,' I started listening to her original music and became an instant fan. Her voice is incredible," said Rhett. "I immediately wondered 'what could that sound like on 'What Could Go Right?' So, we reached out to her, and she came over to my producer's house the very same day and absolutely nailed it. I'm so excited for her career. I think she's going to be an absolute superstar, and I can't wait to watch her journey. I'm so glad she said yes to singing on this song with me."

"It's honestly unreal. I used to blast Thomas Rhett's songs in my car, singing at the top of my lungs, and now I'm sitting here hearing my voice alongside his on a track. That's just wild to me," Gardner said. "TR has been one of those artists I've looked up to for so long — his songwriting, the way he brings so much heart into his music, and how he's shaped country music over the years. He's just one of the best to do it. Getting to be a part of this song with him has been such a full-circle moment, and I'm beyond grateful he thought of me for it. I can't wait for everyone to hear it."

"About a Woman" came out in August 2024.

CD review - Where We Started Thomas Rhett's "Where We Started" begins with a wonderfully positive relationship song titled "The Hill." Over a quiet, acoustic guitar arrangement, Rhett sings of how a successful marriage is the hill he wants to die on. In other words, if he's going to fight for anything, he's going to battle for his romantic partnership. Unsurprisingly, Lori McKenna had a part in writing it. When it comes to setting the right priorities in life, McKenna is one of our greatest ...
CD review - Country Again: Side A Thomas Rhett is in the artistic zone. Rhett Atkins' boy never really struggled to get noticed, but starting around 2015, his impact went nuclear – "Die A Happy Man" wasn't just a number one, but a monster that stayed there for two months. The ACM Award for Entertainer of the Year still carries a lot of weight, and Rhett nabbed it in 2019. Still, Rhett's sound has its doubters – a lot of the air-quote country hits were grafted to other dance, pop and soul styles. ...
CD review - Center Point Road Thomas Rhett represents a dilemma for traditional country music fans. Namely, that he doesn't create much country music that appeals to traditional tastes. Although "Center Point Road" doesn't entirely reverse that trend, even during its most overtly pop moments, this new collection of songs is still a pretty good one. The best song is also a love song - to a truck - titled "That Old Truck." It's the kind of song that only makes sense within country music circles. ...
