Since 2021, Hubbard’s bandmate Brian Kelley signaled an intention to record and release solo music while remaining a part of Florida Georgia Line, with the support of Hubbard. Simultaneously, Hubbard revealed he would occasionally record collaborations as a solo artist as well. The first of these, the single "Undivided" with Tim McGraw, was released on January 13, 2021. He then featured on the song "My Way" with rapper Lathan Warlick. Hubbard and Russell Dickerson were both featured on Thomas Rhett's 2022 promotional single "Death Row".
Hubbard signed a recording contract with EMI Nashville in May 2022 and plans to release a solo album on the label. He released his debut solo single "5 Foot 9" later that month. On November 4, 2022, Hubbard announced that his debut album would be released on January 27, 2023. He co-headlined the halftime show at the 109th Grey Cup in Regina, Saskatchewan alongside Jordan Davis and Josh Ross.
I'm The Only One
Tyler Hubbard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They turn up on Friday nights
Everybody's got that buddy
Who gets drunk and then starts a fight
Everybody's got a hometown
And a favorite pair of boots
But ain't everybody got what I got
'Cause I'm the only one's got you
I'm the only one that gets to wake up
And love you in the middle of the night
I'm the only one lookin' at the sun
Comin' up in your eyes
I'm the only one who gets to kiss a dream come true
Everybody's got somebody they love
But I'm the only one's got you
Yes, I do
Yes, I do
I get to see that sexy side
That nobody gets to see
I get to kiss them lips
When you wrap your arms around me
I bought a ring
It fit on your finger
Right when you said, "I do"
Now everybody's wonderin' how in the world I got a girl like you
I'm the only one that gets to wake up
And love you in the middle of the night
I'm the only one lookin' at the sun
Comin' up in your eyes
I'm the only one who gets to kiss a dream come true
Everybody's got somebody they love
But I'm the only one's got you
Yes, I do
Yes, I do
I'm the only one that gets to wake up
And love you in the middle of the night
I'm the only one lookin' at the sun
Comin' up in your eyes
I'm the only one who gets to kiss a dream come true
Everybody's got somebody they love
But I'm the only one's got you
Everybody's got somebody they love
But I'm the only one's got you
(I'm the only one) that's right
(I'm the only one) yes, I do
(I'm the only one) ah, yeah
(I'm the only one) yes, I do
In "I'm The Only One", Tyler Hubbard describes a love so unique and special that nobody else in the world has it. The song starts by acknowledging that everyone has their own thing - a favorite song, a favorite friend, a favorite place to wear. But Hubbard makes it clear that he's the only one with his love. He gets to love her in the middle of the night and look into her eyes as the sun rises. He's bought her a ring, and now everybody wonders how he was lucky enough to snag someone as amazing as her. For him, she's a dream come true, and he's the only one who gets to kiss her.
The words of "I'm The Only One" are a testament to the uniqueness of every relationship. Many people have love in their lives, but nobody has the kind of love that Hubbard shares with his special someone. The contrast between the things everyone has (a favorite song, a friend who gets into fights) and the thing that only he has (his love) emphasizes the importance and singularity of love in our lives. The song is a celebration of the love that only one person can have, a love that is completely unique and one-of-a-kind.

“I’m The Only One” video is out now. Just like the previous videos we’ve released, we really wanted to think outside the box and create a scene and a setting that was a little unique and unexpected. So, we did this one in a classic Nashville suit shop. The shop closes, and it’s party-time for me. I’m seen having a good time, trying on suits and making this shop my own. It’s just such a fun video.
