The deluxe edition of the project is set to drop Friday, Sept. 26.<\/p>\n<p>While speaking to <em>Country Now<\/em>, Rhett noted that \u201cAin\u2019t A Bad Life\u201d was one of the first songs that came to life when he started writing for his latest project. It all started with the line, \u201cI didn\u2019t win the lotto, but the dawgs won\u201d and from there, it blossomed into a story about gratitude for what you\u2019ve been given in life.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Thomas Rhett; Jordan Davis; Ain\u2019t A Bad Life; Courtesy of The Valory Music Co. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Rhett shined a light on his and Davis\u2019 tight-knit friendship that\u2019s rooted in family life, shared hobbies and a mutual respect for each other\u2019s artistry. That genuine bond translates seamlessly into their collaboration, making the track feel like two friends swapping stories.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMe and Jordan have just become really, really close over the last year, whether that\u2019s through having a bunch of kids\u00a0or we duck hunt together, we see each other a lot,\u201d Rhett explained. \u201cThis song just sounded like a Jordan song to me. And me and him had never done a collaboration before\u2026I think it\u2019s going to be a good one for both of us to be able to play separately on the road, and hopefully we get to play this thing together at some point in time.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"perfmatters-lazy-youtube\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jiSOddo_UwA\" data-id=\"jiSOddo_UwA\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" onclick=\"perfmattersLazyLoadYouTube(this);\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/jiSOddo_UwA\/hqdefault.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/jiSOddo_UwA\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Thomas Rhett - Ain&#039;t A Bad Life (Official Lyric Visualizer) ft.
