By the Numbers
Here and Now keeps Kenny Chesney's writing to a few tracks: on the standard edition he co-wrote 'We Do,' 'Tip of My Tongue,' and 'Streets,' with most songs coming from outside Nashville writers. The standout co-write is 'Tip of My Tongue,' written with Ed Sheeran and Ross Copperman, a cross-genre pairing that sits beside the album's deep bench of professional country material.
Here and Now is the eighteenth studio album by Kenny Chesney, released in May 2020 and his first for Warner Nashville. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, his fifth chart-topper there, led by the title track and 'Happy Does.' Chesney co-wrote three tracks on the standard edition, including 'Tip of My Tongue' with Ed Sheeran and Ross Copperman, while most of the album came from a deep roster of Nashville writers like Josh Osborne, Shane McAnally, and David Lee Murphy. The record arrived during a period when touring was paused, and it kept his streak of number one albums alive into a fourth decade.
