Signed to Lyric Street Records in 2003, Rushlow released two singles and one album (Right Now) on the label that year. After disbanding in 2004, Rushlow and Harris formed a duo known as Rushlow Harris, which was signed to Toby Keith's Show Dog Nashville label in 2006.
Before the foundation of Rushlow, lead vocalist Tim Rushlow was co-lead vocalist with Brady Seals in the band Little Texas, a six-piece band which charted several Top Ten country singles in the mid-1990s, including the Number One hit "My Love". In 1997, Rushlow left for a solo career. His first cut was the musical track "Totally Committed" on comedian Jeff Foxworthy's 1998 album of the same name. Tim Rushlow signed to Atlantic Records in 2000, charting the Top Ten single "She Misses Him" that year. Other singles from his self-titled debut album, however, failed to make Top 40, due in part to the closure of his label in 2001. He formed the group Rushlow after deciding that he was not made for a solo career, saying: "I did some shows and I had a band and a bus, but I never felt real comfortable as the Tim Rushlow solo guy with this band that was not named, that was just sort of 'Tim's backup band.' It just never really felt right."
One of the group's first members was Tim's cousin Doni Harris, who had previously sung backing vocals on his solo album. Later, Rushlow and Harris had spotted Kurt Allison, as well as Allison's roommates Rich Redmond and Tully Kennedy, all of whom were backing another singer at a bar, and eventually Billy Welch was added to the lineup as well. The group was signed to Lyric Street Records, on the condition that they assume the name Rushlow and perform as a self-contained band, with no additional studio musicians. The lead-off single, "I Can't Be Your Friend", was a Top 20 country hit in 2003, and the group also entertained U.S. troops in Bahrain, Germany, Italy and Spain. ("I Can't Be Your Friend" was later covered by the dance group DHT in 2006.) The song served as the lead-off to Rushlow's debut album Right Now, which produced only one more chart single on the country charts.
Rushlow's six members disbanded in early 2004, after being dropped from Lyric Street. Two years later, Tim Rushlow and Doni Harris reunited, forming a duo called Rushlow Harris, which signed to the Show Dog Nashville label (owned by Toby Keith) in 2006. Rushlow Harris charted two singles of its own that year.

Rushlow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you look at me that way
There's not a thing about you I would change
I'm speechless
You're every classic movie star
You're every play, you're every part
You're so deep inside of this man's heart
So, how do I explain to you
The way you changed my life
Even if I wanted to
It wouldn't come out right
You're every note of every song
You make right my every wrong
And in my arms is where you belong
I'm speechless
You're a lady through and through
There's still a little girl there too
Is nothing that I wouldn't do for you
I'm speechless
So, how do I explain to you
The way you changed my life
Even when I've wanted to
It never came out right
Some things are better left unsaid
And really never heard
A love that you can recognize
Without a single word
So, how do I explain to you
The way you changed my life
Even when I've wanted to
It never came out right
Some things are better left unsaid
And really never heard
A love that you can recognize
Without a single word
You make everything stand still
You complete the way I feel
And I'll be here for you until
I'm speechless

He acknowledges that she has changed his life for the better and that there's nothing he wouldn't do for her.
The chorus has a repeating line 'How do I explain to you, the way you changed my life, even if I wanted to, it wouldn't come out right', which shows that the singer is struggling to express his emotions adequately. He thinks that some things are better left unsaid and that love can be recognized without a single word.
The song conveys a strong message about the power of deep love that transcends words, language, and communication barriers. It shows that love is not only about the words but also about actions, emotions, and connections. It's a touching tribute to the true spirit of love.
