Tucker Wetmore enjoyed a career first on Tuesday afternoon when he attended his very first No.1 party.
The rising star and his co-writers Thomas Archer and Chris LaCorte gathered at BMI’s Nashville office to toast the chart-topping success of Wetmore’s debut, Platinum-certified single, “Wind Up Missin’ You.”
Before the celebration, which brought together friends, family, and industry professionals, Wetmore and his fellow songwriters joined Country Now and other outlets to reflect on writing the song.
Wetmore admitted “it feels like yesterday” that he joined Archer and LaCorte in the writing room. He recalled it being a sunny day in Nashville and rolling up to the songwriting session with his “windows rolled down.”
It was Archer who came in with the title, “Wind Up Missin’ You.” Wetmore recalled thinking, “I don’t know what that means, but it sounds sick.”
Together, they started working on ideas and the song fell out.
“We just wanted something that embodied the young love feel and kind of the nostalgia of feel and something that just felt good. Something that felt like the day outside,” Wetmore explained with a smile.
The release of “Wind Up Missin’ You,” which jus tcame one year ago this week, truly changed the trajectory of Wetmore’s already red-hot career.
“I was doing good on socials beforehand. We knew it was going to be a pretty big moment for us, but just thinking about where it’s gotten me now and the things that I’ve done since a year ago… I wasn’t even touring, I don’t think. I mean, I might’ve just had my first tour experience with Kameron Marlowe and since then I’ve been all over the world,” he marveled. “I just got back from London and the shows over there were crazy. My life has changed in the best way possible, more than I ever thought would be possible and just very thankful and very blessed to be where I’m at.”
He later recalled performing the song at CMA Fest and realizing the impact it had on his career.
“That was probably one of the first moments where I was like, ‘Holy sh**, this is nuts,” he said of his CMA Fest performance, which shut down the streets of Nashville. “But since then, it’s just been growing and growing..I’m just blessed, truly. That’s the only word I got for it. It’s just thankful and blessed.”
“Wind Up Missin’ You” is Tucker Wetmore’s first No.1 single, Archer’s fifth and LaCorte’s third.
The song will be featured on his highly anticipated forthcoming debut album, What Not To, which is set to release on April 25.
