Music Minute - Nick Hickman: Trying to Live

 Country artist Nick Hickman has announced his first single “Trying To Live” off his highly anticipated album to be released later this year. Co-written by Jeff Glasscock and Hickman wrote this song out of frustration with the premature loss of loved ones, tired of the "what ifs" and missed opportunities. The lyrics encourage listeners to live life fully, prioritizing meaningful actions and memories over mere pursuits of wealth, and instead to be remembered for love, actions, and the memories created. The new single is available on all digital music platforms now HERE.


“This is my finest creation yet, four times better than anything prior. Truly a labor of love, with every ounce of sweat and tears poured into it. I handled every aspect, from writing to production to engineering. It's a testament to the dedication of my team, and I couldn't be prouder,” Nick Hickman proudly declared.

“Trying to Live is a high-energy song that makes you want to run out and do all the things you’ve been putting off because you think you’ll always have the time later. Nothing is promised in this life, there are no guarantees for anything; Trying to Live is the reminder everyone needs to jump out of bed every morning with a smile on their face and a good attitude towards crushing life and making the most of every moment!” exclaimed co-writer Jeff Glasscock.

The official video was captured in Nashville and produced by Jordan Dziekan. Watch the video on Nick’s official artist YouTube Channel HERE.
