McComas later attended college, but soon dropped out to move to Nashville, Tennessee. McComas briefly signed to Mercury Records, before he landed a deal with Lyric Street in 2001, charting the singles "Night Disappear With You" and "I Could Never Love You Enough". In 2003, he landed his first Top 10, "99.9% Sure (I've Never Been Here Before)" and the follow up "You're in My Head", a #21 hit on the country charts. Another single for Lyric Street, "The Middle of Nowhere", fell short of the Top 40, and Lyric Street dropped him not long afterward. He later signed to Katapult Records, where he released Back Up Again, his second album.

You changed around the scenery
And now everything is new to me
But it looks just right,yeah it looks just right
Whoa,it's strange but it's beautiful
Yeah,and I know where I am
Oh,I never been here before
Never been tumblin', stumblin' over the words that get tangled inside of me
I've never been moved this way
Nobody's ever made me say
I'm ninety-nine point nine per cent sure I've never been here before
I'm walkin' in a wonderland
Gone ever since it all began
And I don't even want to understand
'Cause it feels that good,yeah it feels that good
It's a state that ain't on a map
Yet I know where I'm at
Oh,I've never been here before
I've never been loved like this
Never been tumblin',stumblin' over words that get tangled inside of me
I've never been made me say
Ninety-nine point nine per cent sure I've never been here before
Ninety-nine point,ninety-nine point
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na
Ninety-nine point,ninety-nine point
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na
It's a state that ain't on a map
Yet I know where I'm at
Oh,I never been here before
I've never been loved like this
Never been tumblin', stumblin' over the words that get tangled inside of me
I've never been moved this way
Nobody's ever made me say
I'm ninety-nine point nine per cent sure I've never been here before
I've never been here before
I've never been loved this this
Never been tumblin, stumblin' over the words that get tangled inside of me
I've never been moved this way
Nobody's ever made me say
Ninety-nine point nine per cent sure I've never been here before
No,I've never been here before
I've never been here before (I've never moved this way)
I've never been here before
Ninety-nine point nine per cent sure I've never been here before
The lyrics of Brian McComas's song "99.9%" speaks about the feeling of being in a state of love that one has never experienced before. The singer is amazed by the effect that the person he loves has on him. The person has changed everything about the singer's life and made it new, but it feels just right. Even though she's never been there before, everything feels very familiar. He's walking in a wonderland that's never been on the map, yet he knows where he's at. He's never felt love like this before, he's never been tumbling and stumbling over tangled words, and he's never been moved this way. He is 99.9 per cent sure that he's never been here before.
The song describes the emotions of someone who has been swept off their feet by someone they love. They're experiencing something new in their life, but everything feels right, and they know exactly where they are. The lyrics express the disbelief that the singer feels, as if he's in some kind of uncharted territory. However, he's sure of his love for this person, and he's positive that he's never experienced anything like this before.
