McAnally and music producer Rich Herring recorded a demo of a song that McAnally had written. The song, "Just One Touch", earned McAnally a publishing deal as well as a recording contract with Curb Records.[2] In 1999, McAnally signed with Curb and began recording his first album for the label as well as his first single. "Say Anything" was released in 1999 as his debut single. The song peaked at No. 41 the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The follow-up single, "Are Your Eyes Still Blue", became his first top 40 single, peaking at No. 31. McAnally charted a third and final time with "Run Away", which reached No. 50.[3]

Other songs that McAnally has written that have reached No. 1 on the country charts include "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye" by Luke Bryan; "Alone with You" by Jake Owen; "Come Over", "American Kids", and "Wild Child" by Kenny Chesney; "Better Dig Two" by The Band Perry; "Say You Do" by Dierks Bentley; "Leave the Night On" and "Take Your Time" by Sam Hunt. He also co-produced Hunt's major-label debut studio album Montevallo with Zach Crowell. McAnally is closely associated with Kacey Musgraves, having co-written several songs on both of her major-label albums, Same Trailer Different Park and Pageant Material, in addition to co-producing both albums with Musgraves and Luke Laird.
