How to Format Lyrics:

• Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
• Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Speaking to iHeartRadio in May 2020, Young said:

‘Lady’ is a really special song for me. I’m always excited to write a song that is from the heart and comes from personal experience, and I think that’s the best way for me to feel like I’m connected to the country music audience. But, this one in particular, I was excited to write this from way before we found out we were pregnant. The idea of having kids, I always knew that I was gonna wanna write a song for, not just my first child, but for all my kids. I think it was one of the scariest, but most exciting all at the same time, and when we found out we were having a little girl … I’ve always kind of jokingly called my wife ‘Lady,’ and so when we found out that we were having a little girl, she became ‘little lady.’ And I had all these song ideas, and I wanted to do something different and special, and Jon Nite and Ross Copperman were sitting with me one day, and Jon had written the song ‘Boy’ for Lee Brice, and he said, ‘I don’t want to do it the same way. If we’re going to write one for a girl, let’s find a different twist on it.’ And as we started talking about it, and he heard me talking about my wife and our first child that was on her way, he said, ‘Well, what if it’s a song to your daughter, about your wife?’ And, I went, ‘Ahh, how to be a lady.’ I got very excited and I think it was already exactly what I wanted to say before she was born, and when we wrote it. But, now, even getting to see my wife lead by example, and show our daughter how to be a lady every single day, just by being the woman that she is, it’s made it even more special.

From the beginning, I didn’t know if it was a song for everybody, or if it was just a gift for my wife and my daughter, but I’m really excited that it’s something that the whole world is gonna hear. It’s a really special one for me.
