Need You Now (Lady Antebellum song)

Last updated

The song became the trio's second number one hit on the Hot Country Songs chart dated November 28, 2009, [3] where it stayed for five weeks, [4] making it the first song to hold the number one position for more than four weeks since Taylor Swift's "Our Song" spent six weeks at number one between December 2007 and January 2008. [22] No other song would spend more than four weeks at number one until January 2016, when Thomas Rhett's "Die a Happy Man" spent six weeks at the top. In the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the song peaked at number two and stayed there for two weeks, making it their highest-charting single on that chart and their first Top 5. The song also peaked at No. 2 on the Canadian Hot 100, making it their highest-charting and first Top 5 single there as well. "Need You Now" is only the second country song to reach number one on the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart, the first being Faith Hill's "Breathe", which reached that same position in 2000. [23] For the Billboard tracking period of March 29 – April 4, 2010, "Need You Now" broke the record held by Hoobastank's hit "The Reason" for most spins in one week on the Adult Top 40 chart. [24] The song debuted at No. 28 on the UK Singles Chart in its first week of release. It was covered in a live performance for Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee Concert in June 2012 by English singers Gary Barlow and Cheryl Cole which saw the song re-enter the UK Charts. [25] Over a month later it climbed to No. 15, its highest UK chart position and after 53 weeks in the chart. [26]

On December 9, 2010, the song was named the No. 2 Hot 100 song of the year by Billboard, behind "Tik Tok" by Kesha, marking the highest position a country song has ever reached since Faith Hill's "Breathe" was ranked No. 1 in the year-end chart of the year 2000. [27]

In April 2011, "Need You Now" replaced Taylor Swift's "Love Story" as the best-selling country song of all time in the U.S. [28] It is also the second country song to sell over 5 million digital copies (after Swift's "Love Story"). [29] It has sold over 6 million copies by January 2013, the first country song to do so. [15] As of June 2016, it had sold 6.7 million units in the U.S. [30]

Due to the band winning four Grammys, "Need You Now" debuted at No. 32 on the German Singles Chart in February 2011, 10 months after the digital release of the single. Before that happened, the song did not sell enough to enter the chart. [31] [32]

Music video

David McClister directed the "Need You Now" music video, using a treatment he wrote in 10 minutes. [33]

The video features all three members of Lady Antebellum acting out scenes pertaining to the storyline. It begins in a hallway of a hotel where Kelley is sitting against a wall and Scott is in her room, with Haywood playing the piano. Kelley goes to a cafe and has a coffee, where Haywood arrives with his love interest. Scott then leaves her room and hails a taxi. Kelley leaves the cafe and goes outside to walk to a costume ball, to which Scott is also traveling. When they arrive at the ball, they both see their love interests wearing masks and embrace them. Haywood soon arrives at the ball with his love interest. The video ends with all three members embracing their love interests. [11] The video was filmed at the King Edward Hotel in Toronto, Ontario. [34]

Of the changes between the song and its music video, one of the most noted is Kelley drinking coffee instead of whiskey, since the song states the character is intoxicated. In response, McClister admitted he simply did not want the video to be a literal adaptation of the song, as he felt sitting in a diner in the middle of the night was lonelier. [33]

Cover versions and media usage

In December 2010, Adele and Darius Rucker performed the song at the CMT Artists of the Year. [35] [36] The song was featured in the 2012 film Zero Dark Thirty . The song is featured in the first episode of Hellcats , [37] and it also appeared in episode 12 of The Glades . "Weird Al" Yankovic included the chorus in "Polka Face", the polka medley from his 2011 album Alpocalypse .

Mia Silva performed a Portuguese-language cover version entitled "Preciso de Voce" on her 2011 album Saudade Magoa. Gary Barlow and Cheryl performed "Need You Now" at the Diamond Jubilee concert at Buckingham Palace on 4th June 2012.

In 2017, Shane Filan of Westlife included this song on his album Love Always which reached Top 3 in Scottish Albums Chart and Top 5 in UK Albums Chart and Irish Albums Chart. This was released as a promotional single in East Asia (with a new arrangement and a duet with a Filipina bossa nova music artist Sitti), and it charted in iTunes Top Songs in Laos, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Malaysia. [38] A version of the song by Filan with Indonesian pop star Anggun was released for the Asia Deluxe Edition of the Love Always album in July 2018. Another cover, by Johnny Gioeli and Deen Castronovo featuring Giorgia Colleluori, was released in 2018 on their album Set the World on Fire .
