I’m not a ‘big’ fan of Country Pop music, but I liked this song from the moment I first heard it. In Case You Didn’t Know is a song recorded by American country pop singer Brett Young. It was released to radio on January 9, 2017, as the second single from his debut self-titled album. The song has been certified 3× Platinum.
In case you didn’t know
Baby, I’m crazy bout you
And I would be lying if I said
That I could live this life without you
Even though I don’t tell you all the time
You had my heart a long long time ago
In case you didn’t know
Brett Young co-wrote this romantic song with Nashville songwriters Trent Tomlinson and Tyler Reeve. They penned it during a writer’s retreat at Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. He stated:
“Trent started telling us a story about something his mom always did growing up,” Young said in a behind-the-scenes video. “He said every time he’d leave the house, she’d stop him on his way out the door and say, ‘Hey Trent, in case you didn’t know, I love you.’ And me and Tyler both looked at each other and we were like, ‘Well, we gotta write that song.‘”
The simple performance video below was filmed at the historic Tivoli Theatre in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Young added:
“It ended up being a love story that we wrote, and we wanted everybody to be able to make it their love story,” he said. “So, we just kept it really simple and said what we would like to say to the person that we love, or we would like to hear back from the person that we love.”

I’m not a big fan of country pop either, but this is a sweet song, and Brett comes across as genuine.
