The siblings of the Band Perry took on an unfaithful suitor with their last tune, 'You Lie,' but they've taken a new direction with their latest single, 'All Your Life,' which the band calls a "bona fide love song."

According to the group's Reid Perry, the timing isn't a coincidence. "Naturally, in country music, after a cheating song, you release a love song and 'All Your Life' is our tribute," he says.

The love song seems to be working, and has reportedly led multiple fans to change direction as well. "Two times while we were playing ['All Your Life'], two guys proposed to their girlfriends," brother Neil reveals.

As a member of the Zac Brown Band and a co-writer on several of the band's songs, including the No. 1 hits 'Knee Deep' and 'Colder Weather,' Coy Bowles has proven his skills as a hit songwriter. Now, the Georgia native is taking his creative talents to a new audience, penning his first children's book, inspired by an unlikely encounter with a guest at a dinner party.

The idea for 'Amy Giggles, Laugh Out Loud' came after Coy met a woman who repeatedly stifled her laugh throughout the evening. "Every time someone said something, she would huff and puff," Coy recalls. "Finally, somebody said, 'For the love of God, will you please just laugh out loud?'"

As it turns out, the woman had been teased as a child for having an unusually loud laugh -- a criticism she carried into adulthood. Coy's book gives her story a happy ending, while teaching a valuable lesson.

Why We Dig It: "It's the stupidest song I ever heard in my life," Toby told The Boot with a laugh when speaking of his accidental hit, 'Red Solo Cup.'

Building on its runaway success, Toby has now invited Santa Claus to the party, inserting clips of a snowboarding, beer-swigging St. Nick into 'Red Solo Cup.'

Zac Brown Band members are celebrating another No. 1 (their eighth) with the current single, 'Keep Me in Mind,' claiming the top spot on Billboard's Country Singles chart. Lead singer Zac Brown recently talked with The Boot about penning the band's latest chart-topper.

"We didn't rush anything. It felt good," says the Georgia native. "My songwriting partner, Wyatt Durrette -- the girl he is in love with and dating right now wasn't available when he first met her, but he knew there was something special there. So that was how it got started. Wyatt and I started working on the song for a while, and thenNic Cowan had written part of a song and played it for me and I was like, 'That's the bridge for 'Keep Me in Mind.' So there's three of us on that song. It just fit."

"I wanna thank the fans of country music again," said lead singer Kimberly Perry as she accepted one of her three CMA trophies. "Your stories have changed our lives."
