Chris Sligh Pens New Rascal Flatts Single

Remember Chris Sligh from season 6 of American Idol?  If you were a fan, you’ll be happy to hear about his recent collaboration.  Last April, Chris and Clint Lagerberg wrote “Here Comes Goodbye” which will be the first single from the next Rascal Flatts album Unstoppable.

Of the song, Chris said: "He had the idea, ‘What if we treated goodbye like a person?’  We sat down and took it from there, painted this whole picture. I remembering sitting after we finished it and thinking, ‘This song is going to make a lot of women cry.’"

I’m really looking forward to hearing it.  What woman doesn’t enjoy crying (okay, you know what I mean!)? 

Chris, who was driving when he got the call telling him that the popular country group would be recording his song, said he “just about drove off the road."

The song will be available on the radio January 20, 2009.
