Why Anything Goes For Florida Georgia Line
. "We're country to the core but we like to incorporate our influences, have a good time and keep it fresh," Brian Kelley tells Radio.com. "It's that FGL sound, it's who we are." After they released their debut album, 2012's Here's to the Good Times, the duo were already thinking about their next album. Title track "Anything Goes" came to them just as they released Here's to the Good Times and they had it on hold for two years before they cut it for the new record. "We had been bumpin' that demo for so long, just fell in love with it. It was different, it was fresh, it was going to set the tone for this record," Kelley explains. "Throughout every song meeting it kept making it to the top of the list. It was a brand thing for us. It's just been the way we approach writing, our live show: 'Hey, anything goes. There's no rules. Let's make it as much fun as we can. A little weird here, a little crazy here.' That's our life; anything goes. It is just a bold statement of 'Hey, let's have a good time on tour.'" The energetic "Anything Goes," which was written by Felix McTeigue, Chris Tompkins and Craig Wiseman, fittingly kicks off the album and follows suit with new single "Sun Daze." The song, which has an island vibe reminiscent to something Kenny Chesney would cut, was written while FGL were on tour with Nelly and came together rather organically. "It just fell out of the sky," Hubbard admits. "We had just finished writing another song called 'Good Good' that is a song on the album. We were just messing around with this different beat [and] all of a sudden it just started happening. It's just one of those songs that BK says it best, 'You gotta thank the songwriting gods for that one.' It hit us and we wrote it real quick, finished it on Sunday. Just one of those songs we can't stop listening to." Read more here. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
