A song he wrote with friends Westin Davis and Justin Weaver, Moore spoke with Radio.com during last week's Country Radio Seminar in Nashville about the song, and why having a radio hit with Davis is so important to him.

Moore tells us that he wrote "I'm To Blame" while going through a frustrating time in his life, both personally and musically. He then gets serious and begins speaking about his father, who has since passed away.

"My dad has always been such a�." He pauses, catching himself speaking about his father in the present tense. "He was just a very gritty, down and dirty, no bulls-t kind of guy, but he was so kindhearted at the same time. Being around him so much and looking up to him, he was so charismatic. I think a lot of that grittiness rubbed off on me."

Getting back to the song, Moore goes on to explain that we're in a day in age where no one wants to take the blame, and instead we point the finger at others. That is very different from the sentiment on "I'm To Blame," where Moore places the blame squarely on himself.

"People are so concerned with fitting in and being part of the in crowd. Nobody wants to ruffle any feathers. I've just never cared too much about that kind of stuff," he admits with a serious tone in his voice. His answer also adheres to the "gritty" quality he claims to have picked up from his father.

"I stayed true to who I am, and I don't apologize for that," he continues. "I care about other people's feelings and I respect other people's feelings, but I'm going to always go by what I feel like I'm supposed to in my heart."

Moore says that "it was essential" to have "I'm to Blame" be part of his upcoming album. "It set the tone for what's coming."

Moore could not have written the song, though, without the help of his friend and frequent cowriter Westin Davis, a Nashville songwriter whom Moore first met over a decade ago. As Moore explains, it was Davis who came in with the first line of the song, "If it ain't broke, you can bet that I'm gonna break it."
