No doubt coming to a wedding, graduation or funeral near you (if it hasn’t already).

Al Varela: Last summer I found myself at a Cody Johnson concert, and he previewed a lot of songs that were coming up on his soon-to-be-released double album, Human. All of them sounded great, with Cody Johnson being a magnetic performer, but the one that stood out to me the most was this one. It’s a galloping, anthemic song about seizing the chances you’re given and making the most of every day because one day, it’ll all be gone and left to be a memory. Cody Johnson’s incredible performance was so inspiring, it made me hang on to every word and reflect on how often taking a chance led to some of my happiest memories. Especially towards the end of the song, when Cody Johnson’s energy was on fire and the guitar was letting loose, crowds cheering and jumping to his music, I thought to myself, “Man, how has this man not managed to get a massive hit song yet?” A Few months later and this very song became one of the biggest country songs of the year. Funny how life works.

John S. Quinn-Puerta: This leans more anthem than ballad, causing a bit of cognitive dissonance between some palindromic and trite lyrics that read much sadder than they’re sung. The instrumentation is impeccable, but it just doesn’t fit for me.

Oliver Maier: The verses are sweet and understated, and make Johnson’s point clear without being heavy handed. The hook, of course, can’t help nuking that.

Ian Mathers: Cody, buddy…. I can’t.

Thomas Inskeep: Solid “Live Like You Were Dying”-esque country, solidly sung and well produced. I wish Trent Willmon’s production had a little more Texas grit on it, but considering the state of radio country in 2022, I’ll take what I can get.

Alfred Soto: Absurd lyrical strategy. Substitute any conceit and it works: “You can always bake alligator meat/Til ya can’t.” But Cody Johnson’s sexy burr almost sells them — til it can’t.

Edward Okulicz: A “Live Like You Were Dying” with the mortality scaled down a notch, and with the addition of a full-bore sprint in the spirit of #fomo making it enough of its own thing. Cynically, the combination means it could be the soundtrack to enjoying life or ruing missed opportunities, or celebrating what you have or missing who you’ve lost, and as such the corny lyrics means it lacks the bite of specificity in the aim of some kind of UNIVERSAL FEELING. But damn, this has some charm, and damn, it works.

Ady Thapliyal: Cody Johnson wants to make the EMOTION of ’90s pop country, so he assembled a crack team of Nashville hitmakers to guide the sound of his second major label album, Human. That album’s lead single, “‘Til You Can’t,” basically stretches a country skin over the frame of Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone,” with added flourishes of classic rock guitar to broaden the nostalgic feel across multiple generations. The single sounds like it would cross over to pop radio twenty years ago, so all I can say is that Johnson’s conceptual gambit has succeeded.
