Justin Moore on His 11-Year-Old Daughter Inspiring “More Than Me”
“The idea came from a conversation I had with my oldest daughter, who’s now 11. And she came home from school one day, talking about one of her little buddies that was having boyfriend troubles or something. And I’m going, “No, no, no, we’re not going there right now, it’s way too early for that.” And so it developed into a conversation that she and I had, and I said, “Look, one of these days, a long time from now, you’re going to find somebody that loves you a lot and they better love you a whole lot. They’d better get close to me, but they ain’t never going to love you more than I do. I promise you.” And so that’s where the idea came from. And then I wrote it with other parents, and so it just kind of became a love letter to my kids, if you will. I try to tell them I love them every single day, a hundred times, all of them, but they’ll have this long after I’m gone, and can play it to remind them of maybe how much.”
Justin Moore on How the Pandemic Gave a Whole New Meaning to “We Didn’t Have Much”
After all this stuff hit us and we were sent home, and we watched the world change around us, and we were all not at home in our area, but at home, home… it magnified what I thought about it before. We had Tracy Lawrence on my podcast a while back, and I was talking to him because we were on tour when this all hit us together. And he said, “Man, it’s made me live an even more simple life than what I thought I had lived, in a simple way.” He goes, “We’re literally borrowing eggs from our neighbors and all that kind of stuff. It sounds cliche, but we’re really doing that.” And I thought, “Man, that’s a great thought.” I don’t know, I just thought people would relate to it on an even deeper level, because I’ve learned over the years with different songs, if it’s something I’m going through or something I can relate to, then usually there’s a lot of people out there in the same boat.
