Naturally, expectations run high with a song as aggressively titled as 'Best Song Ever,' but Katie Armiger shows no sign of being troubled by the pressure. After all, the third single from her latest album 'Confessions of a Nice Girl' is on the verge of cracking the Top 40, giving the Texas native her strongest chart showing to date. Katie, along with co-writers Bruce Wallace and Amanda Flynn, dished exclusively to The Boot about the inspiration behind the lyrics, and why 'Best Song Ever' just may be the best song ever.

Katie: I wrote the song with Amanda and Bruce visiting Amanda's mom in Kentucky. We were listening to all of these horribly tragic songs on the drive there. Surprisingly, all of the tragic songs had fairytale happy endings. We started talking about how things never really turn out that way. We wanted to write a parody for all those songs, so we wrote 'Best Song Ever.' It took us about 20 minutes sitting on Amanda's mom's couch.

Bruce Wallace: I had met Katie at a writers night through Amanda Flynn a few weeks earlier. She invited me to come to Kentucky with her and Katie, promising I'd get the single if I joined the retreat. Of course, I had to take her up on it. We watched 'Hoarders' for 24 hours and finally thought of the idea 'Best Song Ever.' It went pretty quick. I'm pretty sure none of us though it would do what it has, but I like to call it "the little song that could."

Amanda Flynn: We started writing 'Best Song Ever' after hearing a bunch of "love gone right" songs on the radio. They were good, but we joked about writing the best song ever, and then we did.

The video for 'Best Song Ever' recently spent an impressive three consecutive weeks at No. 1 on GAC's fan-voted 'Top 20 Country Countdown. Click below to watch the clip, which was directed by Stephen Shepherd.
