Infobox and lead

• Infobox looks good!
• You should mention in the opening sentence that the song was recorded by the singer "for his fifth studio album, Country Again: Side A (2021)."

  Done. DanCherek (talk) 21:58, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

• Move the release sentence to being before the one about the song's lyrics

  Not sure if I'm understanding this correctly because that was how it had been — did you mean to suggest moving the release sentence to being after the one about the lyrics? If so, done. Please let me know if I misunderstood. DanCherek (talk) 21:58, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

  I meant this as in it should be the one after the writing/production, which would make it come before the lyrics. --K. Peake 10:18, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

  Oh, got it — done. DanCherek (talk) 12:39, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

References

• Copyvio score looks too high at 42.2% for the uDiscoverMusic ref; put into own words a bit to fix this

  Yep, it was that pesky blockquote. I've brought it down — now the hits are to two brief quotes and false positives like the list of songwriters and the title of "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry". Is that better? DanCherek (talk) 18:07, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

  Looking at the Copyvio detector again, none of the short quotes or false positives even take the score as high as 30%, so this is definitely a lot better! --K. Peake 06:57, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until all of the issues are fixed; there are quite a few, but it's a good effort for a first nom! --K. Peake 10:18, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

  @K. Peake: Thanks again for your detailed feedback; it was enormously helpful for improving the article. I believe I've addressed all of the points above, so I'd appreciate your taking another look when you get a chance! DanCherek (talk) 18:08, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

  @DanCherek: ✓ Pass now, kudos to you for the quick response and having your first GA! Also, I did some brief copy editing in areas where minor issues existed and next time you want to @ me, use the ping mention instead of adding the symbol though. --K. Peake 06:57, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
