About the song
There’s something truly special about a song that captures the heart and soul of a personal moment, and Scotty McCreery’s “This Is It” does just that with a sincerity that’s both touching and timeless. Known for his rich baritone and genuine storytelling, Scotty has carved out a space in modern country music that feels both refreshing and familiar. In “This Is It”, he takes us on a journey through one of the most intimate chapters of his life — his proposal to his now-wife, Gabi.
Written alongside Frank Rogers and Aaron Eshuis, “This Is It” isn’t just another love song. It’s a heartfelt anthem of commitment and celebration, where every line feels meticulously crafted to reflect the emotions of that unforgettable day. The track begins with a gentle, almost reverent guitar melody, setting the stage for Scotty’s unmistakable voice to take center stage. As the song unfolds, there’s a sense of anticipation woven into the lyrics — a nod to the nerves and excitement that accompany a life-changing moment.
What makes “This Is It” truly resonate is its authenticity. Scotty doesn’t just sing about love; he invites listeners into his story. You can almost picture the winding mountain trails he describes, feel the crisp air as he gets down on one knee, and share in the sheer joy of that simple, profound question. It’s as if the song itself becomes a window into his heart, allowing us to share in a moment that’s both deeply personal and universally relatable.
The production complements the narrative beautifully — polished without losing the organic feel that country music thrives on. Subtle strings and a steady drumbeat build as the song swells to its chorus, mirroring the overwhelming emotion of saying “I do.” It’s this balance of vulnerability and celebration that makes “This Is It” stand out among McCreery’s catalog. It’s not overly sentimental or forced; it’s honest, grounded, and undeniably moving.
Since its release, “This Is It” has become more than just a song for weddings and anniversaries — it’s an anthem of love that resonates with anyone who’s ever taken that leap of faith. It’s no surprise that it climbed the charts and found a place in the hearts of countless fans. More than just a musical moment, it’s a lasting tribute to real love, captured in song by one of country’s most genuine voices.

Lyrics
Way up in the mountains, four thousand feet high
There’s a trail through the trees to a cliff where Carolina meets the sky
Oh, and there’s a view I just can’t describe
No, we’re not there yet, just a few more steps, baby wait
Okay, you can open your eyes[Chorus]
This is it, this is now, this is what I’ve been talking ’bout
Looking out, can’t you see forever?
Take my hand, just take it in
This is a moment we won’t forget
On top of the world, here, together
If there ever was a time for a perfect kiss, this is it[Verse 2]
Girl, I know that you’ve been waiting and talking to your friends
Wondering if and wondering where and wondering when
Well, I’ve been waiting too, holding on to this ring
For the right words to say, for the right time and place, for me to get on one knee[Chorus]
This is it, this is now, this is what I’ve been talking ’bout
Looking out, can’t you see forever?
Take my hand, just take it in
This is a moment we won’t forget
On top of the world here together
If there ever was a time for a perfect kiss, well this is it
This is it

Now you’re walking down the aisle
And I can’t help but smile[Chorus]
This is it, this is now, it’s what I’ve been talking ’bout
Looking out, I can see forever
So take my hand, just take it in (Take it in)
This is a moment we won’t forget (Won’t forget)
On top of the world, here, together
Surrounded by our family and our friends
If there ever was a time for a perfect kiss
This is it
Yeah, this is it
