Florida Georgia Line: The Sound of Modern Romance

FGL’s music is characterized by simple, relatable lyrics and a laid-back, Southern energy. They are masters of the “modern love ballad,” making them one of the most requested country acts for weddings today.

  • Top Ballads: Soulful tracks with deep symbolism, perfect for key moments.
  • Collaboration Hits: Genre-bending tracks featuring pop, R&B, and rock icons.
  • Party Anthems: High-energy songs that celebrate “the good times.”

Spotlight Moments: Dances & Ceremony

  • The Definitive Love Song: “H.O.L.Y.” – 2016. Standing for “High On Loving You,” this is FGL’s top wedding ballad. Its lyrics describe a deep, spiritual commitment, making it a perfect choice for a First Dance or a meaningful ceremony track.
  • The “Grow Old” Promise: “Grow Old” – 2016. A beautiful, non-traditional choice for a Wedding Processional. It tells a simple story of building a life and a family together, hitting all the right emotional notes for a walk down the aisle.
  • A Heartfelt First Dance: “Blessings” – 2019. This track is a masterclass in gratitude. It’s a slow, acoustic-driven song that focuses on being “blessed” to have found your perfect match, ideal for an intimate first dance.
  • The Parent Dance Choice: “God, Your Mama, and Me” (feat. Backstreet Boys) – 2017. This collaboration is a popular choice for a Father-Daughter dance. It’s a sweet promise of eternal love and protection from the three most important figures in a child’s life.

Reception & Party Hits

  • The Ultimate Country-Pop Jam: “Meant To Be” (Bebe Rexha feat. FGL) – 2017. This is a massive cross-over hit that everyone in the room will know. Its “if it’s meant to be, it’ll be” message is a fun, lighthearted way to keep the energy high.
  • The Summer Anthem: “Cruise” – 2012. The song that started it all. Its laid-back, windows-down vibe is a mandatory addition to any wedding dance floor, especially for summer celebrations.
  • High-Energy Collaboration: “This Is How We Roll” (feat. Luke Bryan) – 2012. A party-starting anthem that celebrates good friends and late nights. It’s perfect for the “peak” of your reception when you want the dance floor packed.
  • The Genre-Bending Dance Hit: “Lil Bit” (Nelly feat. FGL) – 2020. If you want to bridge the gap between country and hip-hop, this track is a guaranteed floor-filler that gets all generations moving.

Expert Tips: The “FGL” Vibe

  • The Breakup Warning: While “Stay” (2012) is a powerful ballad, it’s actually about a breakup. I recommend skipping this for the ceremony and saving it for a late-night sing-along if you have “super-fans” in the crowd.
  • The Transition: FGL’s music transitions perfectly into modern pop and 2000s R&B. Have your DJ mix “Cruise” with “Hot In Herre” (Nelly) or “Lil Bit” for a seamless, high-energy set.
  • Cake Cutting Fun: “Simple” (2018) or “Get Your Shine On” (2012) provides a fun, upbeat tempo that works great as background music for the cake cutting or a celebratory toast.

God, Your Mama, and Me
Released in 2017 on the album Dig Your Roots

You know I’m always gonna be here for ya
No one’s ever gonna love you more than
God, your mama, and me

Florida Georgia Line got a little bit of help from the Backstreet Boys on this song from 2016, a love ballad that has been used in wedding receptions for a dance between father and daughter. The lyrics can be taken many ways, but some listeners also hear this as a promise from a father to his infant daughter.

Always Gonna Love You
Released in 2021 on the album Life Rolls On

When the sun burns out and the cows come home
From now ’til forever, something you can count on is
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I’m always gonna love you

2021 was a difficult year for this country duo as the individual band members sought to advance their own solo careers, but Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley proved that they still had something to offer as a group with this love song. In the lyrics you will find all of the promises and vows that are commonly shared by those who are planning their wedding day, so feel free to use it in your ceremony.

This song by Bebe Rexha features Florida Georgia Line in a supporting role, and it was released in 2017 to become a top single for the popular female artist. It is an example of the type of love song that has come to define the career of Florida Georgia Line, one in which the simplicity of the ballad’s lyrics works to convey a deep sentiment.

Stay
Released in 2012 on the album Here’s To The Good Times

And I’ll do anything to have you here again
But if I told you I loved you would it make you wanna stay

This is one of those love songs that describes the aftermath of a breakup, so it might not be the best choice for a wedding. Still, true fans of Florida Georgia Line will appreciate the song for what it is – a sentimental ballad with a power pop, 80s-inspired drive.

Party Tunes

Released in 2020 on the album Lil Bit

I’ll break out my big wheel and you can climb on up
Girl, I think you a big deal, now show your boy some love
Huh, just a lil’ bit

Florida Georgia Line has done a number of collaborations with other artists during their careers, and this one with Nelly could be the best of them all. It is a song that will inspire everyone to dance, and it shows that good music of any genre has the ability to bridge generations.

We light it up with our hands up
This is how we roll, this is how we do
We’re burning down the night, shootin’ bullets at the moon, baby

One of the favorite country duos of the modern era joined forces with Luke Bryan to release this Florida Georgia Line party song in 2012, and as expected the song spent a good deal of time on the charts. It immediately became a favorite for young people who like bonfires in the summer, good music, and good times spent with good friends.

You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise

In 2012 this song was among the first group of radio hits for Florida Georgia Line, and since that time the group has gone on to create a lasting legacy in modern country music that sprang from this release. The laid-back, enduring vibe of this song is something most people can relate to, and it was created to be played at top volume in the car with the windows down.

Simple
Released in 2018 on the album Can’t Say I Ain’t Country

The road we’re on ain’t a traffic jam
It’s a Sunday drive on a piece of land
It’s paradise as long as I’m with you

This was one of the most successful singles from Soundtrack To Summer 2018, a Florida Georgia Line album made to celebrate the party atmosphere. No one could have known at that time that the world was on the verge of a global pandemic that would halt many summer activities for two years, so this song has an even deeper significance when you listen to it with that awareness.

Get Your Shine On
Released in 2012 on the album Here’s To The Good Times

Feelin’ lucky, got hooked up with some Kentucky Clear
So slide that little sugar shaker over here
And get your shine on

This song was released in 2012, and it is a reminder that we all need to let our problems go at times and just enjoy life. No one should feel guilty about being the best version of themselves, so play this as a dedication to your own glorious perfection.
