Thomas Rhett’s new single, “Be There In A Minute,” builds its romantic premise around a familiar feeling: wanting to get back to someone you love as quickly as possible. Released November 6, 2026, the track wraps that anticipation in a bright, guitar-led country arrangement, with Rhett’s warm vocal at the center. It is his first single since announcing a label partnership with Fifty-One/Forty-Nine Records and Blue Highway Records.
The song’s scene is a restless drive, windows down and thoughts fixed on the person waiting at the other end. Rather than dwell on distance, “Be There In A Minute” turns the urge to reunite into an upbeat, playful serenade. Shimmering guitar tones and an easy-moving groove give the production a polished contemporary-country feel, while its romantic focus draws on the warmth and soul associated with Rhett’s sound.
Rhett co-wrote the song with producer Josh Kerr, Rocky Block and John Byron. Its central emotion is not limited to a particular stage of a relationship: the idea, as Rhett has described it, is that the anticipation of seeing someone can remain exciting whether a couple has been together for weeks or for years. That perspective gives the track a simple, direct point of connection, carried by its forward motion and an infectious melody.
“Be There In A Minute” premiered across country radio stations nationwide in the United States on release day. The song is also set for a televised performance during the annual Army–Air Force college football game on November 7, 2026. The broadcast begins at 7 p.m. Eastern Time on the CBS Television Network and Paramount+ Premium, offering the single an early live showcase after Rhett and his band had begun playing it on the road.
The release arrives as Rhett moves from a busy touring stretch into new performances. He recently wrapped the U.S. leg of THE SOUNDTRACK TO LIFE tour, which included co-headlining stadium shows with Niall Horan at Nashville’s GEODIS Park and Hersheypark Stadium. The press material lists Las Vegas performances on December 10 and December 12, 2026, before a January visit to Mexico. In April 2027, the tour is scheduled to bring Rhett to Manchester, London and Glasgow for headline arena dates, marking his first headlining run in the United Kingdom since 2018.
Those live plans sit alongside a career profile shaped by both commercial reach and songwriting. Rhett is described in the release as DIAMOND-certified, with 25 No. 1 songs and 22 billion streams. His listed accolades include eight ACM Awards and two CMA Awards, as well as five Grammy nominations and recognition from the CMT Music Awards, Billboard Awards and iHeartRadio Awards. He has also received five CMA Triple Play awards, which recognize writers who achieve three No. 1 songs within a 12-month period.
With “Be There In A Minute,” Rhett frames a new phase through a subject that is intimate rather than grand: the pull of getting back to a loved one. Its buoyant production gives that feeling a sense of movement, while the song’s country textures keep the focus on the vocal and the relationship at its core. The result is a lively, affectionate introduction to his latest release cycle.
