Country music star and former American Idol winner, Scotty McCreery, has sparked excitement among fans by hinting at a new song dedicated to his second child.
The tease came in a reply to a fan on social media, immediately stirring anticipation for an emotional new track. This isn’t the first time McCreery has penned a song inspired by family life. In 2022, he poured his love for his first son, Merrick Avery, into the heartfelt ballad “Love Like This,” praised for its warm melody and authentic lyrics.
When a fan asked if he’d be writing something for baby #2, McCreery replied: “I can’t wait for it either!” The hint alone was enough to generate major buzz, with fans already predicting another tender ballad to follow in the footsteps of his earlier track.
While fans wait for the new music, McCreery has also been sharing glimpses of family life ahead of baby #2. On August 25, 2025, the singer took to Instagram with adorable new family photos, captioning the post: “Last bus weekend as a family of 3!”
The snapshots featured Scotty, his wife Gabi, their son Avery, and their beloved dog Moose. Gabi glowed as the soon-to-be family of four enjoyed quality time together. The heartwarming post gained nearly 20,000 likes in just hours, with fans flooding the comments with congratulations. One wrote, “Avery you are going to be an awesome big brother!”
McCreery has also kept fans updated with lighthearted posts of Avery, including a late August Instagram Reel showing the little boy raking a bunker on a golf course. “Little man rakes his first bunker,” Scotty captioned, much to the delight of his followers.
Taking Time Off for Family
Alongside music and family updates, McCreery confirmed in an August 21, 2025 interview with The Express U.S. that he plans to step away from performing temporarily to be present for the birth of his second child.
“I’ll be getting home and taking some time off to help with the next little baby,” he said, noting that he still had one final festival appearance scheduled in Switzerland before the break.
Although Scotty and Gabi have not yet shared a name, he hinted they are expecting another boy. “He’s figured it out,” McCreery said of Avery. “I think he knows mommy’s belly’s getting big because his little brother’s in there.”
The couple, who married in 2018, are now eagerly preparing to welcome their newest addition this fall—while fans await both the baby and Scotty’s touching new track.
