Scotty McCreery just hit the top of the Billboard Country Airplay chart with “This Is It,” a love song he wrote for his new wife Gabi Dugal in June 2018. McCreery wrote the song with Frank Rogers and Aaron Eshuis.

Footage from their wedding can be seen in the single’s music video which topped the "GAC Top 20 Countdown" for multiple weeks.

“I wrote ‘This Is It’ for Gabi,” said McCreery. “It’s our song. I played it for her just an hour after I proposed. I sang it to her at our wedding. She’s who I see in my mind when I perform it on the road every night. Watching our love story become my second No. 1 hit is something Gabi and I will treasure always. I am so thankful to country radio and my fans who have stood with me from day one for making my dreams come true.”

Scotty just wrapped up his headlining, 14-city Seasons Change Tour with special guests Jimmie Allen and Heather Morgan. The tour saw multiple sold-out performances from Raleigh, NC to Boston, MA and beyond.
