Sam Hunt has cracked the Top 10 on the country charts with his latest single, “Make You Miss Me,” which makes him the first solo male artist since Mark Chesnutt in 1991 to have songs from his debut album hit Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
The song, which Sam wrote with Josh Osborne, Matt Ramsey, is about a guy who wants to make himself as unforgettable to a particular girl as possible.
It’s implied that he wants to make her miss him the way that he misses her when she’s not with him,” says Sam. “The attitude of the singer is a confident one, but there’s also a vulnerability there because he really likes this girl and he misses her, so his only option is to make sure that he’s not forgettable, and he figures out a way to make her miss him.”
You can catch Sam performing “Make You Miss Me” when he makes a stop at Cheyenne Frontier Days Thursday (July 22nd) and at CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington on Friday (July 23rd) as part of Kenny Chesney’s 2016 Spread the Love Stadium Tour.

“This sentiment came out of knowing a girl who, and girls in general, that tend to have the personality to be very into something one minute and over it the next, and not really ever having been in a relationship with a guy because she was over before it could get started. This is a song about a guy who says he’s not gonna let that happen. He’s gonna be memorable. He’s gonna make her miss him. It’s implied that he wants to make her miss him the way that he misses her when she’s not with him. The attitude of the singer is a confident one, but there’s also a vulnerability there because he really likes this girl and he misses her, so his only option is to make sure that he’s not forgettable, and he figures out a way to make her miss him.”
