About the song
Scotty McCreery’s “Live A Little” isn’t just a song; it’s an infectious invitation to embrace the simple joys that often get lost in the daily grind. From the moment the upbeat melody kicks in, you’re transported to a sun-drenched world where worries fade and seizing the day becomes the only agenda. McCreery’s warm, resonant voice, a signature of his authentic country charm, effortlessly delivers lyrics that resonate with a universal longing for a life lived to the fullest.
The beauty of “Live A Little” lies in its relatable message. It doesn’t preach grand adventures or unattainable dreams. Instead, it shines a light on the small, yet significant moments that truly enrich our lives. Think spontaneous road trips with the windows down, laughter echoing around a bonfire, or simply savoring the quiet beauty of a sunset. These are the experiences McCreery champions, reminding us that living fully isn’t about extravagance, but about presence and appreciation.
Musically, the track is a masterclass in feel-good country. The lively instrumentation, with its prominent guitars and driving rhythm, perfectly complements the optimistic lyrics. It’s the kind of song that makes you tap your feet, nod your head, and maybe even break into an impromptu dance. You can almost feel the warmth of the summer air and the carefree spirit the song embodies.
“Live A Little” serves as a gentle nudge, a friendly reminder to step outside our routines and actively seek out moments of joy. It encourages us to disconnect from the digital noise and reconnect with the tangible world around us and the people we cherish. In a world that often feels fast-paced and overwhelming, McCreery’s anthem offers a refreshing perspective – that true fulfillment can be found in slowing down, appreciating the present, and, quite simply, choosing to live a little more each day. It’s a song that sticks with you long after the final note fades, leaving you with a renewed sense of possibility and a desire to make the most of every moment.

Lyrics
Girl, you and I know this town like the back of our hand
We’ve rode every road and we’ve seen everything that we can
Yeah, we grew up here, it’ll always be home
Someday we’ll be back here when we’re growin’ old
So, let’s live it up for a minute between now and then
I wanna go five hundred miles an hour
Kiss you on top of the Eiffel tower
We can hop on a plane right now
Baby, it’s that simple, it’s that simple
‘Cause I wanna go skydiving over Diamond Head
Climb the tallest mountain, look out over the edge
Find a nowhere dance floor, spin you around in the middle
Girl, I’m dying to live a little
I wanna take you to Napa to sip on some wine
Kick back in Jamaica just living on island time
Anywhere you want, baby, I wanna know
East coast or west coast, don’t matter
I wanna go five hundred miles an hour
Kiss you on top of the Eiffel tower
We can hop on a plane right now
Baby, it’s that simple, it’s that simple
And I wanna go skydiving over Diamond Head
Climb the tallest mountain, look out over the edge
Find a nowhere dance floor, spin you around in the middle
Girl, I’m dying to live a little
Oh, oh, oh, don’t you wanna live a little?
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna
I wanna live a little
You know I’m dying to, dying to, dying to
Dying to live a little, oh
I wanna go five hundred miles an hour
Kiss you on top of the Eiffel tower
We can hop on a plane right now
Baby, it’s that simple, it’s that simple
And I wanna go skydiving over Diamond Head
Climb the tallest mountain, look out over the edge
Find a nowhere dance floor, spin you around in the middle
Girl, I’m dying to live a little
Oh, oh, you know I’m dying to live a little
Yeah, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna
I wanna live a little
Girl, don’t you wanna, you wanna, you wanna
You wanna live a little? Oh-oh
I wanna take you swimming in the Mediterranean Sea
Gonna take you to Buckingham palace ’cause you’re my queen…
