David Nail’s “Whatever She’s Got” vaulted up to the top of both the Billboard and Country Aircheck country singles charts, marking his second career No. 1.
The No. 1 hit and RIAA certified GOLD single is the first song from David’s forthcoming album, I’m a Fire. David recorded the Jimmy Robbins and Jon Nite-penned song for his wife Catherine, admitting “I still to this day don’t know what she has, but I know that I like it….whatever it is.”
David says with the release of “Whatever She’s Got,” he feels like a new artist, even though he’s been a recording artist for several years and had a previous No. 1 song with “Let It Rain.”
“[It’s] been a big song for us, and it’s been fun the last few months to kind of watch it take off,” says David. “In a lot of ways I feel like a new artist. I feel like I’m getting a new start, and just really thrilled with what this song’s done and with the record that we have and excited to get it out there.”
David, who will be hitting the road on Darius Rucker’s True Believers Tour at the end of the month, is set to release his new album, I’m a Fire, March 4th.
TIDBIT: Keith Urban apparently had “Whatever She’s Got” on hold, and David says he was “kind enough” to let him have the song.

“Most of my songs have taken a while, and then it’s six or seven months before we get back on the radio. So, I had forgotten, I think, what it felt like to be on the radio, to get in your car every day and not know, you know, just that anticipation that you may or may not hear your song. So, it feels really good. This song I believed in it the first moment that I heard it. It came to me at the perfect time, and it was actually just a rush to see who could record it first, and I won the battle. In the last three or four months, people can’t seem to get enough of it. And even though I had a No. 1 with ‘Let It Rain,’ this is by far my biggest song.”
