Glory Days (Gabby Barrett song)

"Glory Days" is a song by American country music singer Gabby Barrett. It was released on June 12, 2023 as the lead single from her second studio album Chapter & Verse. Barrett co-wrote the song with James McNair, Seth Mosley, and Emily Weisband, and co-produced it with Ross Copperman.

Background
Barrett co-wrote the song with James McNair, Seth Mosley, and Emily Weisband. She set out to release something more upbeat, saying "[she] did not want to come out with another midtempo or ballad. It's summer, so I really was eager to release something that was uptempo and fun and make people smile." The song was written via Zoom call on March 16, 2023, with Mosley developing the foundational sound of the track which Barrett likened to Keith Urban's early work, and Weisband suggested the title, which resonated with Barrett balancing life as a mother of two and a country recording artist. Ross Copperman co-produced the track alongside Barrett, and Barrett's husband Cade Foehner played the guitar solo on the song's bridge.
