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.
Me For Me
Tyler Hubbard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like my songs up loud
Go out on Friday night
And run around with the rowdy crowd
I ain't your typical
Half the time, I'm difficult
And I can be a tough one to love, but
She loves me for me
Just as country as can be
Little rough around the edges
Like the holes in these old jeans
Ain't askin' me to change nothin'
Far as I can see
She don't want nobody different
No one else I gotta be, nah
She loves me for me (she loves me)
She loves me for me (she loves me)
Yeah, she does
(Yeah)
Some days I waste my time
Some weeks I work too long
Sometimes I speak my mind
When I should just leave it alone
I ain't your typical
Half the time I'm difficult
And I can be a tough one to love, but
She loves me for me
Just as country as can be
Little rough around the edges
Like the holes in these old jeans
Ain't askin' me to change nothin'
Far as I can see
She don't want nobody different
No one else I gotta be, nah
She loves me for me
She likes my tattoos
And my long hair
And my dance moves
And my don't care
What anybody else besides her thinks
She loves me for me
Just as country as can be
Rough around the edges
Like the holes in these old jeans
Ain't askin' me to change nothin'
Far as I can see
She don't want nobody different
No one else I gotta be, nah
She loves me for me (she loves me)
Oh yeah, she loves me for me (she loves me)
Yeah, she does
She likes my tattoos
And my long hair
And my dance moves
And my don't care
What anybody else besides her thinks (she loves me)
She loves me for me
(She loves me for me)
The song "Me For Me" by Tyler Hubbard is a love song where the singer celebrates the fact that his partner loves him for who he really is, without wanting him to change. In the first verse, he mentions some of his habits that are not considered typical, like driving his truck too high, listening to loud music, and hanging out with a rowdy crowd. He acknowledges that he can be difficult at times but emphasizes that his partner accepts him for who he is. In the second verse, he talks about the fact that he sometimes wastes his time, works too long, or speaks his mind when he shouldn't, but again, his partner still loves him as he is. The chorus repeats the message, and the bridge emphasizes some of his specific traits that she likes, like tattoos, long hair, and dance moves.
Overall, the message of the song is about accepting and loving someone for who they are, even if they're not perfect and have flaws. It's a celebration of the fact that a partner can see beyond the surface and appreciate the more complex and unique aspects of their personality. The song also has a strong country sound, with references to trucks, jeans, and tattoos, which is typical of Hubbard's style and has been successful in the country genre.

“Me For Me” is a really personal song that I wrote with two of my good buddies, Russell Dickerson and Thomas Rhett. It highlights the beautiful part of a relationship and loving people for who they are. From the first day I met my wife, she’s always loved me for me, flaws and all, exactly how I am. I hope you love it.
