"This"
Song

"This" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Darius Rucker. It was released in November 2010 as the second single from his album Charleston, SC 1966, and the sixth solo single release of his career. It reached number-one on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in April 2011. Rucker wrote this song with his producer Frank Rogers and Kara DioGuardi.

Critical reception

Sarah Rodman of the Boston Globe wrote that the song "falls squarely in the country pop sweet spot".[2] Country Weekly reviewer Jessica Phillips said that it was "an accurate reflection" of Rucker's role as husband and father.[3]

Karlie Justus of The 9513 gave the song a thumbs-down, saying that it seemed too thematically similar to "Alright" and had "throwaway lyrics".[3]

Music video

The music video was directed by Trey Fanjoy and premiered in early 2011.
