About the song
Ah, yes, Scotty McCreery. A name that, in the vast landscape of contemporary country music, resonates with a certain sincerity, a groundedness that feels increasingly rare. His latest offering, “It Matters To Her,” isn’t merely another track in his discography; it’s a quiet testament to the nuanced understanding of partnership, a gentle exploration of the subtle language of love that often goes unspoken in the clamor of modern life. In a genre frequently dominated by grand gestures and sweeping narratives of heartbreak or triumph, McCreery chooses instead to illuminate the quiet, daily acts of devotion that build a lasting relationship.
“It Matters To Her” arrives as a mature reflection, a departure from the more youthful exuberance that characterized his earlier work. It’s a song that speaks to a seasoned understanding of love, one that recognizes the profound significance of small, seemingly insignificant details. The delicate dance of remembering a preferred coffee order, the thoughtful gesture of holding a door open, the attentive listening that transforms everyday conversation into a shared moment of connection – these are the brushstrokes with which McCreery paints a portrait of genuine affection. He crafts a narrative that understands that true romance isn’t always about fireworks and dramatic declarations, but often resides in the quiet, consistent expressions of care that weave the fabric of a shared life.
McCreery’s vocal delivery, here, is particularly noteworthy. He eschews the more bombastic tendencies of some of his contemporaries, opting instead for a restrained, almost conversational tone. This deliberate choice allows the lyrics to take center stage, emphasizing the sincerity of the sentiment. There’s a warmth in his voice, a sense of lived experience, that lends the song an undeniable authenticity. One feels that he’s not merely singing words on a page, but rather sharing a personal truth, a hard-won wisdom about the delicate balance of giving and receiving in a committed relationship.
The production, too, complements the song’s understated elegance. It’s a carefully crafted arrangement, where the gentle strum of acoustic guitars and the subtle swell of accompanying instrumentation provide a tasteful backdrop without ever overshadowing the central message. There’s a certain timeless quality to the sound, a classic country sensibility that feels both familiar and refreshingly genuine. It’s a sonic landscape that allows the listener to fully immerse themselves in the song’s narrative, to reflect on the quiet moments of connection that define their own relationships.
In a world increasingly saturated with fleeting trends and ephemeral emotions, “It Matters To Her” stands as a welcome reminder of the enduring power of simple, heartfelt gestures. It’s a song that invites us to slow down, to appreciate the quiet beauty of everyday moments, and to recognize the profound significance of the small acts of love that truly matter. It is a song that recognizes that love is not a grand, singular event, but a collection of small, daily actions, each one a testament to devotion.

Lyrics
When you say, “I love you” ‘fore you hang up the phone
When you buy her favorite wine on your way home
When you kiss her in the kitchen, when you kiss her on the street
When you kiss her when she’s still asleep
It matters to her, it stays on her mind
When you put her first every single time
When you think she don’t see, when you think she don’t care
When you think she don’t notice what you’re doin’ there
Every little look, every single word
Oh, it matters to her
When you pull her in close when she had a bad day
When you shut up and listen to what she has to say
When you tell her she’s stronger than the storm blowin’ in
When you’re there when she just needs a friend
It matters to her, it stays on her mind
When you put her first every single time
When you think she don’t see, when you think she don’t care
When you think she don’t notice what you’re doin’ there
Every little look, every single word
Oh, it matters to her
Yeah, it matters to her
Oh, it’s the little things that a man might miss
Oh, it’s the little things that she never forgets
Oh, it matters to her, it stays on her mind
When you put her first, oh, every single time
When you think she don’t see, when you think she don’t care
When you think she don’t notice, oh, what you’re doin’ there
Every little look, every single word
Make her feel like she’s the only woman in the world
It matters to her
Yeah, you know it matters to her
Oh yeah, it matters to her
