Thomas Rhett's "Die A Happy Man" has been certified Gold by the RIAA.
"Die a Happy Man," which has only been at radio for seven weeks, has already sold more than 500,000 copies. The song is the second single from Rhett's sophomore album, Tangled Up.
Rhett says that he penned the hit song at the behest of his wife Lauren, who asked him to write a song akin to Tim McGraw's "Just To See You Smile."
"Obviously, this isn't exactly like that, but it's my interpretation. It's 100-percent autobiographical of our relationship in a three-and-a-half-minute ballad," Rhett explains in a statement. "It's probably my favorite song I've ever written, and it will be amazing to show our grandkids the video one day."
Rhett is currently out on the road with Brett Eldredge, co-headlining 2015 CMT on Tour, dubbed the "Suits and Boots Tour."
