Hillary Scott commented on the song, saying that "All three of us know what it's like to get to that point where you feel lonely enough that you make a late night phone call that you very well could regret the next day." Charles Kelley told ''The Boot'' that the band's record executives initially had concerns regarding using the lyrics ''"I'm a little drunk"'', but convinced the executives to leave the content in the song. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Need You Now (Lady Antebellum song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
