About the Song
A vow in song form—tender, timeless, and sung by two hearts that have weathered the years together.
When Tim McGraw and Faith Hill released “The Rest of Our Life” in 2017, they weren’t just sharing a duet—they were sharing a declaration of lasting love, a glimpse into the deep bond that has carried them through decades of marriage, music, and life in the spotlight. The song, which serves as the title track of their first-ever full-length duet album, is both romantic and grounded, the kind of love story that feels earned, not imagined.
Written by Ed Sheeran, Steve Mac, and Johnny McDaid, “The Rest of Our Life” blends modern country-pop production with classic storytelling. It opens with vulnerability—Tim asking the quiet, uncertain questions we all ask when love feels both exciting and terrifying: “Sitting with you in a dark room, warmed by a fireplace… Will you still love me when I’m not so young and beautiful?”
And then comes Faith, answering him not with promises, but with quiet certainty. Her voice, rich with emotion, wraps around Tim’s in perfect harmony, affirming what fans have long known: theirs isn’t just a partnership—it’s a living, breathing love story.
Musically, the song is simple yet cinematic. Swelling strings, delicate piano, and soft rhythm carry the melody forward—but it’s the way their voices intertwine that truly brings it to life. There’s no showboating, no forced theatrics—just two people who believe what they’re singing.
“The Rest of Our Life” feels like a letter between two people who’ve chosen each other over and over again. And in a world where love songs often chase the thrill of beginnings, Tim and Faith remind us of the beauty in staying, in growing old together, and in choosing love every day.
