A Moment to Remember: The Lasting Charm of Scotty McCreery’s “This Is It”
For many of us who’ve walked through decades of love, change, and memory-making, there are a few moments in life that stand out above the rest — the kind that stay with us forever. Scotty McCreery’s “This Is It” captures one of those moments with grace and sincerity: the day a man says “I do” to the love of his life.
Released in 2018, “This Is It” is more than just a country love song — it’s a personal story. McCreery wrote it for his own proposal and wedding to his longtime girlfriend, Gabi. The lyrics are simple but powerful, describing the anticipation, nerves, and overwhelming joy of committing your life to someone. For older listeners, the song may bring back memories of their own wedding day, or of watching their children and grandchildren begin that same journey.
Lines like “This is it, this is now, this is what I’ve been talking about” reflect that special feeling when a long-awaited moment finally becomes reality. It’s a reminder of the beauty in love that grows over time — something many older couples understand deeply. The song doesn’t shout for attention; instead, it speaks with a quiet warmth that feels real and lasting.
The official video, featuring footage from Scotty’s actual wedding day, adds to the song’s emotional impact. There’s no performance or acting — just two people, surrounded by loved ones, stepping into the next chapter of their lives. It’s touching in its simplicity.
For listeners who’ve lived long enough to know how rare true love can be — and how precious it is when you find it — “This Is It” is more than just music. It’s a celebration of commitment, of family, and of those unforgettable moments that define a lifetime.
