"Ain't Nothin' 'Bout You"
While shaving one morning, thinking about the day’s events, it occurred to me that I was writing with the great songwriter Tom Shapiro. So, I started humming, hoping something would present itself. When I got to his office, we talked for a little while then got around to business. “You got anything?” he asked. I played this little verse I had going - he said he had an idea that might work for it. I thought “there ain’t nothin’ bout you that don’t do somethin’ for me” was a little clumsy for a title but in the interest of time, I jumped on in and we wrote the song. We decided that we enjoyed working with each other and that if we kept it up, we just might write a real hit. The song we so easily dismissed has been the most successful song either of us has ever written and the biggest single of Brooks and Dunn’s career.
