Lady A (previously known as Lady Antebellum)
is an American country music group formed in Nashville,
Tennessee in 2006. The group is composed of Hillary Scott (lead and background vocals), Charles Kelley (lead and background vocals, guitar), and Dave Haywood (background
vocals, guitar, piano, mandolin). Scott is the daughter of country music singer
Linda Davis, and
Kelley is the brother of pop singer Josh Kelley.
The band abbreviated the name to "Lady A" in June 2020 amid the George Floyd
protests in an attempt to blunt the name's associations
with slavery and the Antebellum South,
causing a dispute with Black gospel singer Anita White,
who had already been using that same name for more than 20 years.
The group made its debut in 2007 as guest
vocalists on Jim Brickman's single
"Never Alone",
before signing to Capitol
Nashville. Lady Antebellum has released six albums for
Capitol: Lady
Antebellum, Need
You Now, Own the Night,
Golden,
747, Heart Break and Ocean,
plus one Christmas album (On This
Winter's Night). The first three albums are certified platinum or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The albums have produced sixteen singles on the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts, of which nine have reached number one. The longest-lasting
number one single is "Need You Now",
which spent five weeks at that position in 2009; both that song and 2011's
"Just a Kiss"
reached number one on the Adult
Contemporary charts.
Lady A was awarded Top New Duo or Group by
the Academy of
Country Music and New Artist of the Year by the Country Music
Association in 2008. The band was nominated for
two Grammy Awards at the 51st Annual
Grammy Awards and two more at the 52nd Annual
Grammy Awards, winning Best Country
Performance by Duo or Group with Vocals for "I Run to You". It was
awarded Top Vocal Group, Song of the Year ("Need You Now"), and
Single of the Year ("Need You Now") at the 44th ACM Awards on April
18, 2010. It won five awards at the 53rd Annual
Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year and
Record of the Year for "Need You Now". Lady A also scored "Best Country
Album" at the 54th Annual
Grammy Awards. By August 2013, the group had sold more than 12.5
million digital singles and 10 million albums in the United States.
Need You Now is the second studio album by
American country music trio Lady Antebellum. The
album was released on January 26, 2010, by Capitol
Nashville. It is the follow-up album to their 2008 self-titled RIAA Platinum
certified debut album. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 481,000 copies sold in its first week. It has been certified 3x platinum
by the RIAA. On February 13, 2011, the album won the Grammy Award for Best Country
Album and was nominated for Album of the
Year, whereas the single "Need You Now"
won four awards, including Song of the
Year and Record of the
Year.[
Picture, perfect
memories
Scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone 'cause
I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after
one
I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call
But I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
Another shot of
whisky
Can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping
In the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me, it happens all the time
It's a quarter after
one
I'm a little drunk
And I need you now
Said I wouldn't call
But I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
Guess, I'd rather
hurt than feel nothing at all
It's a quarter after one
I'm all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call
But I'm a little drunk and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now
Oh, baby, I need you now.
