Introduction
Do you remember the moment Scotty McCreery stepped into the spotlight and won our hearts? His debut single, “I Love You This Big,” perfectly captured that magic. Released right after his monumental win on American Idol in 2011, this song wasn’t just his introduction to the world—it was a promise of what was to come. With its heartfelt lyrics and soaring melody, it set the stage for Scotty’s career as one of country music’s most authentic voices.
What makes “I Love You This Big” so special is its universal appeal. It’s not just a love song—it’s the love song for anyone who’s ever struggled to find the right words to express how they feel. The lyrics are simple yet profound, built around that tender refrain: “I love you this big, eyes have never seen this big…” It’s the kind of sentiment that hits you right in the heart and reminds you of those moments when words simply aren’t enough.
The song blends Scotty’s rich, baritone voice with a melody that feels timeless. Produced by Mark Bright, who’s worked with country legends like Carrie Underwood and Reba McEntire, the track leans into classic country vibes while adding a touch of modern flair. It’s a balance that mirrors Scotty’s own approach to music—a deep respect for tradition mixed with fresh, youthful energy.
And let’s not forget the American Idol connection. Performing this song during the Idol finale wasn’t just a bold choice; it was the perfect one. The raw emotion and sincerity Scotty poured into it resonated with millions, helping him clinch the win and setting him on the path to stardom. It’s no wonder the song quickly climbed the charts, peaking at No. 15 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs and earning a Gold certification.
But beyond the stats and accolades, “I Love You This Big” is about connection. Whether you’re a young couple dancing in your living room or a parent singing it as a lullaby, the song taps into something universal—a big, uncontainable love. And isn’t that what great country music is all about?

Lyrics
I know I’m still young
But I know how I feel
I might not have too much experience
But I know when love is real
By the way my heart starts pounding
When I look into your eyes
I might look a little silly
Standing with my arms stretched open wide
I love you this big
Eyes have never seen this big
No one’s ever dreamed this big
And I’ll spend the rest of my life
Explaining what words can not describe
But I’ll try
I love you this big
I love you to the moon and back
I love you all the time
Deeper than the ocean
And higher than the pines
‘Cause girl, you do something to me
Deep down in my heart
I know I look a little crazy
Standing with my arms stretched all apart
I love you this big
Eyes have never seen this big
No one’s ever dreamed this big
And I’ll spend the rest of my life
Explaining what words can not describe
But I’ll try
I love you this big
So much bigger than I ever dreamed my heart ever would
I love you this big
And I’d write your name in stars across the sky if I could
I would
I love you this big
Oh, eyes have never seen this big
No one’s ever dreamed this big
And I’ll spend the rest of my life
Explaining what words can not describe
But I’ll try
I love you this big
Oh, eyes have never seen this big
No one’s ever dreamed this big
And I’ll spend the rest of my life
Explaining what words can not describe
But I’ll try
I love you this big
