The moment Billy realizes what the song is about is priceless

I met the “man I was meant to marry” (as I referred to him) when I was 16 & he was 20. We both dated individuals and the timing was never right. I found out he married his girlfriend, she was pregnant. It crushed me. I got married, had two children, got divorced. I found out he got divorced, I reached out to him. He was dating someone for a few years. I knew of her, she was a great person. I felt if he didn’t end up with me, I’m glad he found someone like her. A few years later, I found him on social media and sent him a message asking how he & his son were. He messaged back “of all people I’ve ever wanted to hear from, ive wanted to hear from you. Here’s my number.” We met in 1994 & started dating in 2009. We got married in 2018 & became grandparents in 2019. Fairytales do come true.

"No he didn't just leave us with a cliffhanger like that." Yes, yes he did😂

he never realized that the guy wrapped his present in the same tie die shirt she wore at the game. I love this song so frickin much. makes me cry everytime.

It’s the what if about him and his wife. They dated in hs and broke up but he still loved her. She was engaged to someone else and her dad told him to tell her how he felt. She ended her engagement and they ended up together. But this is his take on the other possible outcome.

Mans said “ hold up what did I miss in a couple of seconds “

The beauty of country music is that it tells stories of life situations that people can relate to. This song speaks to something many people have experienced, wanting something more from someone who doesn't have the same feelings for you, so you have to let them go.

I met the love of my life when I was a shy, insecure 14 year old. My high school sweetheart. We had a bumpy road and she was the one that got away. I had to watch her marry someone else, though I was not allowed at the wedding. I was never able to get over her. She actually almost left on her wedding day to come find me, but didn’t. Some years passed, they split up, we both went through tough times apart, and (plot twist) now we’ve been married for 2 years and have a son together. I never stopped loving her since the day I first laid my eyes on her.

The continuation of the story is in a Thomas Rhett song called Remember you young. It is also a great song.

This song packs a punch and gets me every time. It's a heavy hitter.

I set in a church and watched my sister's best friend get married, she knew how I felt. Years went by without seeing her again. Fast forward to my sister's 40th birthday party, she happened to be in town, my sister called me over and the moment our eyes meet I burst into tears, she put her hand over her mouth just like the end of this video. She has had a good life and a good family and I am trully happy for her, but somethings the heart never will never let go.

This was literally written about how he almost lost his chance with his wife Lauren.

I’ve been married for 20 years to my high school sweetheart. We met when I was 13. Unfortunately, while we were always great friends, it was a bumpy road. I married my first husband on my current husbands birthday, and he was there, wishing it was him. My first husband was an awful man who was abusive. We were only married a couple of years. After my divorce my husband now stated that he would always love me and would wait for me until I was ready to date again. Luckily I felt the same and we are still madly in love after all these years.

I watched a childhood crush get married twice. We lost touch and went our own ways. I got married to someone else too. Now, 25 years later we are planning our wedding. He felt the same way about me growing up that I felt for him. We wasted 25 years, but it was well worth it. ❤️❤️❤️

currently married to my childhood best friend, parents met when they were pregnant with us and became friends. we were born 2 months apart and grew up the first 7 years together, then she had to move 850 miles away to live with her dad. we were separated for 9 years and once i got my first phone i got her number from her mom and 2 month later she moved back, have been together for almost 7 years and married for almost 4 of them. we are 25.

I met this guy in 6th grade, I was immediately so in love with him, but by the time either of us said anything I had moved across the US. I went down to visit family and we went on a date, but had to go back home. Fast forward years later, I got married, then divorced, then I got remarried and he got married and divorced. I told him how I'd felt all those years and he admitted he had felt the same, but neither of us knew. So from @ 12 to 29 we were great friends and had this love/admiration for each other that the other didn't know about. We had planned to see each other and do a big party for him, myself and our other friend because we were all turning 30 that year. When I did see him again, he passed away 9 days later, 8 months before his 30th birthday. He told me a few weeks before that, that in our next life he'd pay more attention, he'd ask me out, and to this day I wonder if he somehow knew what was coming.

Billy You so crushed!! Lol i felt the same way the 1st time i heard it

I love this song. Been married almost 51 years. Met him when I was 15. Married at 18.

I thought I’d lost my forever, we were in high school together and rode the bus together. I had to move when I got sick and had to drop out. Flash forward a few years, I went into a nursing home/rehabilitation center after going into kidney failure. When I got out I moved in with my best friend. Her ex’s brother was her roommate at the time, who turned out to be this guys best friend. We got together November 30th three years ago and are now engaged! So happy it turned out this way instead of before, we would have never worked before!

I married my high school sweetheart. I met him when I was 14 and we got married when I was 17. We have been married for 28 years now and have 3 grown men.

This song literally speaks volumes to me. Theres always going to be the one that got away. The second verse literally tells the story of my early 20's.

Story continues with his song remeber you young. Gotta get closure lol

Trust us on this NOW you HAVE to watch "Remember You Young" to find out the ending. It's another great song.

this is how many people love thomas rhett! ⬇️ ⬇️

My husband and I have been together since we were 13 years old (10 years ago). We have been married for 6 months but he is my best friend and we will be together for many more years.

Married to my high school sweetheart! We’ve been together since I was 15, together 12 years next month and married 8.5 years!

But no one noticed that the shirt Sam had in his hand was the one she wore to hat that game... or am I wrong?

I am married to my HS sweetheart, I started dating him my sophomore year, we have been together 19 years.

My husband and I fell in love at 5 years old when he tried to kiss me at the Drive in lol. All through our lives he’s been my friend and now we have 3 kids and he’s my best friend and married still at 40

Billy, I started dating my husband (unfortunately now deceased) when I was 15 years old. We were married for almost 41 years when he passed away. He was the love of my life and he's been gone for almost 16 years now. Of course, both me and my son still miss him.

I am actually married to my childhood sweetheart. I moved away our 3rd grade summer, but not before I told her I would marry her for real one day. I saw her again in college and I asked her to marry me on Christmas Eve. We have been married 21 years and I love her more everyday!

Met my husband when I was 14 we celebrate 18 years of marriage this month, together 21 years in June on our oldest daughters bday.

I love your reaction to this song! I married my Sweetheart right out of basic training, I was 19 and he was 21. Greatest man I've ever known and we were just getting ready to celebrate our 40th anniversary when he suddenly and unexpectedly passed away! He was in the Gulf War and was so proud to be a retired disabled veteran and I was so proud of him! Let me say to you that I thank you BillyYouSoCrazy for your service and my hats off to you your family because I know how hard it is for the families left behind! Thank you for what you do because I love watching you react to any video! Merry Christmas To You and Your family 🎅

My biggest regret in life was not telling him...lesson learned the hard way.

Liked a guy, he didn't like me that way, he got married to another, divorced her, I helped him through it, he dated another girl. I feel this song.

He ended up marrying her. It is a true story.

Popped up on my recommended, but that second line, “I remember the night when I almost kissed her, I kinda freaked out we’d been friends for forever, and I’d always wondered if she felt the same way”. I had given away a note to my best friend basically confessing my love for her. We were gonna talk about it when she got back from the trip and it was moving towards us being together. She ended up passing away on the trip. This song hits different and makes me cry everytkme

Now you gotta see Remember You Young by Thomas Rhett

Happily Married to my high school sweetheart! Four years today! Two beautiful children.. can’t wait to see our future and see what we and our children will become! 💙

Met my hubby at 11.. started dating at 15.. married at 21. One daughter and we are celebrating 34 years together... 28 years of marriage 🥰. They are my everything.

the story behind this is him and his wife broke up for awhile and almost married other people but they fell back in love

I have a female best friend that I had huge feelings for, but I waited too long and she found someone else and everytime I see them together it still hurts.

Now do remember you young !!! You'll get your closure and it's another amazing song

My parents are high school sweethearts and today’s is there anniversary for like 26 years or something like that

Rhett made this song about his now wife as a what if scenario cause his wife almost married someone else so that scenario helped create this song

this song is actually abt him and his wife. they were high school sweethearts and broke up. then they were engaged to different people and ended up breaking up w them and now they are married to each other w 2 kids. also my boyfriend and I are seniors in high school. we are both each others first boyfriend/girlfriend. we have been together for a little over 3 years. started dating when he was 14 & I was 15. now 17 & 18. he may propose next year (or so he says) and I'm praying it works out ❤ different colleges (but only like 45 mins away from each other). just cant imagine being w anyone else

Billy, Ive been in this spot, and currently am. I met this girl at my very first job. I actually saw her working when I was in the store shopping with my mom. During that time, I was looking for a job, since I was fresh out of high school and applied to work there, not because of her. I interviewed and wound up getting the job. One day I was on break, and so was she. I could tell that she had been crying, so i approached her and asked if she was okay. As time went on, I learned more about her and her situation, not knowing she had a boyfriend who was her high school crush. They recently had a daughter 6 months prior. The more we got to know each other, the more I realized how amazing she was. Then the store Christmas party came around. I was nervous and couldn't work up the courage to ask if she wanted to go with me. It is a good thing I didn't, because that night I met her 6 month old daughter and her boyfriend. As time went on and the more she opened up to me, turns out he was abusive to her but she was scared to leave. This crushed me, because I knew how better off she would be if she was to leave him. As we grew more as friends, he began to not like me, reason being, I started to take tests to become a police officer, and worked security, and got friends in the law enforcement industry. So from time to time she would distance her self from me because of him not liking me. It was so bad that when he would beat her she would call me crying, in fact when he started using drugs, and she told him she was pregnant with their second child, he beat her so bad and threw her down the stairs, to the point where she almost had a miscarriage. I am happy to announce that did not happen, and the child is perfectly fine. Throughout all of this, I finally opened up to her one night and told her how I felt about her. I was quickly put in the same position, as the kid in this video. Years later, she worked up the courage to get a restraining order against him, and was put into protective custody by the court due to his actions, and attempting to kill her and her family. We are still friends now, and her daughter who was 6 months when I met her is now 17 years old, driving, and introduced me to her boyfriend via FaceTime the other day. All 3 of her kids that she had by this guy, all call me their uncle, and we talk all the time. Their mother, still has no plans to move me out of the friend zone, so I can treat her like the queen I know she is, it still crushes me to this day, 19 years later. After ever FaceTime and phone call, we always end it with "I love you" and when she visits home, we make it a point to see each other. I don't know if you read this entire thing, but if you did, I hope billyyse (billy you so emotional) didn't come to the comment section!

I didn't have a high school sweetheart, I was too into cars. I am my wife's high school sweetheart, we met when she was a sophomore and I had just graduated (I was still 17). We've been together 33 years, married 30 years.

Now you have to watch “Remember you Young” by him now it’s related to this song

Been happily married to my best friend I found at 17, married at 18 years old now hitting 34 years old and still married 15 years later to my best friend!

I met my husband when I was 12. He was my first date. My Homecoming and Prom date. We went to college in seperate directions and agreed to be friends. He saw my mother several times and asked about me. I had a bad breakup right before Spring Break. My sister invited him over while I was home. It was like those 8 months had never happened. He was "the one." He always had been, we just didn't know it until then. We have been married for 27 years this July. We have 3 kids. Our oldest 2 are both in the Navy, so I love your veteran reactions. He is my best friend and the man that makes me a better woman.

If you’re stuck thinking about the cliffhanger at the end, GO WATCH THE “REMEMBER YOU YOUNG” VIDEO! It gives the answer you are looking for.

Yes I let the best thing ever get away and I’ve never. Got over it!!!! I haven’t dated since

That friend you've always loved but never told 💔 your soul is crying and you are dying while she's feeling the happiest she's ever been! No pain like it!

That's how it goes. You feel that amazing connection to someone and you think it's meant to be but then it's gone. Therapy, whiskey and bad decisions ensue. #life

Gotta watch his other song “while we’re young” the storyline continues with the couple

Played football with his dad Rhett Akins in Highschool

Started dating my husband when I was 15, got married when I turned 20, I’ll be 29 this year. He’s truly my best friend and I’m so thankful we made it through everything. Sometimes when you grow up with someone you either grow apart or grow together and we grew together thankfully❤️

I love love love this song and the first time I watched it I was sobbing at the end. Your reaction was spot on and you earned a sub!

You should watch “marry me brides perspective” by McKenna Grace

Please do 'Remember you young' ! It tells the rest of the story. You won't be disappointed! Promise!

Yes, I married my high school sweetheart. I was 15, he was 16 when we met. We got married the next yr. (my Jr. yr., his Sr. yr.) 4 months later he went into the USMC. He served for 8yrs. Leaving us behind many times. It was rough, but we toughed it out. We celebrated 50 yrs. in Apr. We have 4 kids, 10 grandkids, and 4 great grandkids. We are blessed beyond measure❤️

My parents are high school sweet hearts, they dropped out together and then later on got their GED’s together. They have been together 21 years and married 20 years

Listen to the girl version of this song it’s called “marry me (girl version)”

Mamma’s house and cowboys and angels by Dustin Lynch

After 3yrs my first Jr. High/HS sweet heart an I parted ways. Had a tough time, especially in highschool. Thoughts of suicide was on the horizon constantly, as I cried daily whenever I'm alone. But my friends got me through it. 3yrs is a long time in that stage of life. I prayed to God to please bless me with someone who'd do me better. I transferred schools. An I met someone who I've been with since Senior year in 2003. Still together to this day, 18yrs strong. Although the pain from my 1st never goes away. But life gets easier when you spend it with the one who'd love you 100%.

Watching someone you love fall in love with someone else is the worst and most heartbreaking feeling ever

Theres a girl in my grade and we started talking and we talked and hung out for 6 months and a few weeks ago she met a new guy and she moved on to him and it’s pretty hard watching them do stuff that I use to do with her, I can’t really tell her how I feel though.

Do “Cover me up” by Morgan Wallen

Yes, 1 person who wanted me, when I didn't to be wanted. I regret it many years later. Tina, you know who you are. Blessing you.

Just loved your expression at the end of the video. Also I was stressed out on this video as well when I had watched. Great song, but dang the story telling in the video had me crying

Been a while since I have been able to watch a Billy video, love the song and the reaction... Keep on reacting Billy

No matter how much you love everything as it is... you never forget your first love, and it hurts.

How did I just see this reaction now? I have watched a ton of reactions to this song, but somehow missed yours. This video makes me cry every time I watch it.

Ouch!!! First time hearing this song! 😭😭 I have a one that got away. He came to my wedding... waited outside for me to arrive... wanted to say it but didn’t... so I married someone else who left me 14 1/2 years later for somebody that was 40 years younger than him. I think about that everyday. This song is killing me!!!! CLIFFHANGER... what???????

Married mine 12 yrs ago but we have been together since 14&15. My best friend and so glad to be together for all these years.

This song is beautiful when you know that Thomas Rhett married his childhood friend. She's wonderful. And she has more followers than he does. 😉

Yes! My high school crush. I told him in 3 different languages how I felt. He responded with “I only like you like a friend”. He got engaged and then passed away almost 10 years ago

I’ve known my husband since we were in kindergarten. We graduated high school together but never dated in high school. We were best friends all through high school , saw many failed relationships. We started dating in college and have been a couple since 1992 and married since 1997. We have an 18 year old son and an 11 year old daughter. ❤️

i love how no one notices that he rapped the present in the same shirt from the football game she was wearing so that is how she new he dropped the gift off and left

I love waiting for you to see the turn in the songs. I know it is coming and I love to see your reaction!

If it makes you feel better, the origin of this song is that this is his "what if" song. I came here from you reacting to "Life Changes" so I know you know he married his childhood sweetheart. But they broke up in college and she was dating someone else. He couldn't stand the thought of her marrying someone else so he told her he still loved her and they got back together. He wrote this about what might have happened if he hadn't told her.

So glad you are reacting to Thomas Rhett. I just love his music.

I’ve been married 22 years to my college sweetheart. My high school sweetheart and I never would have gone the distance and I don’t regret leaving him behind. I’ve been told by another that he said I was the one that got away. I would never take back the day I made my vows to my husband. We have had many tough times, but we work through everything together and in love. Marriage is the hardest and most wonderful thing I’ve ever done and I’m so grateful God brought us together.

The music video “remember you young” it has the same people from this music video. Thomas Rhett like completed the story!! It’s beautiful

I am married to the man I was with in highschool. We've been together 10 years married for 4. I love him sooo much. When we met were were lost teenagers who partied too much and did way too many things we shouldn't be. My dad had just committed suicide and died in my arms. My mama never wanted me and still didnt then. His dad was gone and his mom was a meth addict who would literally chase cockroaches with a blow torch around our house. We slept on a couch in her living room. Everyone thought we would fail. I got pregnant at 19, we lived in a shed behind an old lady's house. We only had 3 walls on the bathroom. Our son is about to be 7 now we havent touched anything since the second I found out I was pregnant. We dont even drink. We moved out of state on our own. We have a house, 2 brand new cars. 2 beautiful babies that I'm able to stay home with because my husband works so hard to provide a life neither of us ever had. I couldn't imagine my life without him. We grew up together, and I wouldnt change it for anything. We also know no matter the situation we can get through it together because we have already.

I’m not married to my high school sweetheart. Actually never had one, but I’ve been married for 6 months now and we have been together for 2 years and 4 months.

Met my wife in high school in 1997 at the start of our Senior Year. We will be celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary in a few months from now.

I met my husband just after I graduated high school so not high school sweet hearts but I was barely 18. We are coming up on 17 years together and 2 special needs children later and I love this strong amazing man more and more each day ❤

I am with my high school sweetheart, we started 'dating' when we were 13 in 2003, never even had a break, and got married in 2010 when we were 19 and 20. Been married happily ever since and now have 4 kids.

I’m married to my high school sweetheart. We’ve been married for 16 years, but together for 25 years. He’s the best! Can’t imagine life without him!

I've been married to my high school sweetheart for the last 14 years. Been together since the 8th grade. Love this song!!!

Hey Billy! 1st...thanks for this 😎 Terrific - as usual! My Mom & Dad became friends in 9th grade ‘n started dating in 10th. Love affair BIG TIME❣️ 3 months shy of THEIR 62nd WEDDING ANNIVERSARY...My Dad passed away. He was here at home...with his best friend ‘n love of his life - along with his 2 daughters. I mean, really, how blessed am I to have been born to the 2 most loving people I’ve ever witnessed??!!!! Again, thank you! (and...thanks for listening 😄)

When Billy paused right before the first chorus was finished, I was like, "Dude, just a few seconds more..."

Dude, you rock.... God bless brother your amazing.... truer words never spoken...

We started going oit in 10th grade, graduated in 1994 and married in 1995. Still happy today 💜💜

For my Daughter - Kane Brown. Such a beautiful song

I'm married to my elementary, junior high, highschool sweetheart. We've been friends since we were nine. I wrote him the check yes or no cliche note, he checked yes. We've dated, broken up, broke each other's hearts, and helped to put them back together. We've known each other for about 23 years. We've been married for 16.5 years. We've got our beautiful babies. Some days I can't stand to look at him but, every night I need to know he's okay before I can fall asleep.

I transferred to a new high school after my sophomore year. Had a crush on a girl I had one class with. She had a boyfriend throughout high school, so I never expressed my feelings. 7 years after I graduated, I saw her at a stoplight. I asked her for her phone number in between stoplights as we were both driving through town. She, to this day, tells me she had just got a new phone and number that day and wasn’t sure if she remembered the number correctly. Our 11th wedding anniversary is this Friday. Been together 14 years. I am blessed more than I deserve.

My wife and I are high school sweethearts. We dated for 2 years in high school and my first year in the Marine Corps. We split up for a while, but we got back together almost a year later. We've been married now going on 5 years and we have 2 little girls together. When you realized what the song was about was priceless lol
