September is shaping up to be a big month for Todd Tilghman. The Season 18 winner of The Voice teased a new single on social media, “Home Wasn’t Built In a Day,” which will be released on September 9, one day before he makes his Grand Ole Opry debut, performing alongside his good friend, and coach on The Voice, Blake Shelton.
Tilghman shared a clip of the song, which says in part, “Home, it wasn’t built in a day / It didn’t happen overnight / Took a lot of ups and downs, a lot of wrongs and rights / I did a lot of hanging on, when I wanted to let go / Took a lot of years and tears and prayers that now we know,…” The singer says that it is the most personal song he has ever recorded.

Tilghman previously spoke out about “Home Wasn’t Built In a Day,” revealing that it was autobiographical to him, and his own family.
“‘Home Wasn’t Built In a Day’ is a song that I wrote wtih a couple of really fantastic, just super, brilliant songwriters, and becoming really good friends, actually. Lance Carpenter is one of them, Kelli Johnson is the other one,” the father of eight shared in a video on Facebook. “And ‘Home Wasn’t Built In a Day’ is kind of in a nutshell, to say the least, it’s kind of the story of our family, my wife and me and our family.”
“Everyone seemed like they loved that song so much … I’ve had so much really great response that on September 9th, ‘Home Wasn’t Built In a Day’ will be out there,” he adds. “It will be released for everybody to download and stream and all those things. We’re actually in the process of hopefully having a music video, hopefully ready to roll that day too.”
“Home Wasn’t Built In a Day” might be Tilghman’s most personal song to date, but it follows several other personal songs he has written and released in the last few years, including “We Wrote a Story,” “Sandcastles,” and the holiday tune, “Old Photos at Christmastime,” among others.
Tilghman and Shelton will be joined at the Grand Ole Opry by Natalie Grant, Callista Clark and Kobly Cooper. Tickets for Tilghman’s Grand Ole Opry performances are available here. All of Tilghman’s music and upcoming shows can be found by visiting his website.
