Scotty McCreery‘s deeply personal “It Matters To Her” video is out! The 29-year-old tells his own story in the video, sharing his wife, Gabi’s pregnancy and snapshots of their lives together in the video, ending with the addition of Merrick Avery, whom they will call Avery.
“To me, the video shows off how much of a rock star Gabi was during her pregnancy,” McCreery tells People. “It also captures how much we both enjoyed getting ready for Avery’s arrival.”
The video shares scenes, via a digital scrapbook, of McCreery and Gabi, from finding out she is pregnant, through the various stages of her pregnancy, including building the nursery, while she wears a Gruene Hall t-shirt, telling their dog, Moose, and more.
McCreery and Gabi are adjusting to being a family of three, after their son’s arrival in October.
“Next to his mother, he is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,” McCreery said at the time. “We have been waiting and preparing all year, and now we are so excited to have our little man here with us. We have begun a grand new adventure that will continue for the rest of our lives.”
“Gabi was a total rock star during Avery’s birth. I could not be more proud of her,” he added. “She has already taken to motherhood like a champ. Part of my joy as his Dad is watching Gabi already crush it as his Mom.”
McCreery, who just released the live version of “It Matters To Her,” filmed at the iconic Gruene Hall, previously said “It Matters To Her” was inspired by his own four-year marriage to Gabi.
“I’m a lyric guy,” McCreery explained. “I’m a story guy, a message guy. And this story was just us sitting back, talking one day, me and Rhett [Akins] and LeeThomas Miller and just being like, ‘Man, you know what I’m learning? It’s just the littlest things. Like if I go downstairs and just empty the dishwasher, and she doesn’t have to tell me to stop watching golf and go do it, it’s a little thing, but it adds up over time. And I’m learning as a young husband, that’s what adds up and makes the difference,’ And I can still work on it. Like, I still shave and leave my beard hair in the sink. and she yells from downstairs like, ‘What the heck?’ But, it’s a cool song to sing.”
“It Matters To Her” is from McCreery’s 2021 Same Truck album. The North Carolina native will release his Same Truck: The Deluxe Album on Friday, November 18. The record features all of the songs on Same Truck, plus six new songs, including “Nothin’ Right” and “Small Town Story.”
“We had more songs I loved ready for the original release of Same Truck than we could put on that album, so I am pumped that Triple Tigers asked me to do a Deluxe Edition where I could add six more songs,” McCreery said of the deluxe version of his latest project. “We’ve also had a lot of requests for a vinyl version of Same Truck over the last year, so I’m excited we can offer that option as well.”
