Introduction
Scotty McCreery’s “This Is It” isn’t just another love song; it’s a heartfelt narrative of his own love story with his high school sweetheart, Gabi Dugal. Imagine penning a song that maps out your proposal plans even before popping the question—that’s exactly what Scotty did. He co-wrote this touching track with Frank Rogers and Aaron Eshuis just two weeks before he led Gabi up a scenic trail in the North Carolina mountains to ask for her hand in marriage.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of that special day: guiding Gabi, eyes closed, to a cliff where “Carolina meets the sky,” capturing the anticipation and joy of the moment. It’s as if you’re right there with them, feeling the butterflies and the overwhelming love. The song beautifully transitions from the proposal to their wedding day, encapsulating the journey from “Will you?” to “I do.”
Adding another layer of authenticity, the music video features real footage from their wedding, allowing fans to share in their genuine happiness. It’s no wonder the song resonated with so many, spending multiple weeks atop Billboard’s Country Airplay chart.
“This Is It” isn’t just a song; it’s a celebration of love, commitment, and the beautiful moments that define our lives. Whether you’re reminiscing about your own love story or dreaming of one to come, this track serves as a heartfelt reminder of those perfect moments when everything falls into place.

Lyrics
Way up in the mountains, four thousand feet high
There’s a trail through the trees to a cliff where Carolina meets the sky
Oh, and there’s a view I just can’t describe
No, we’re not there yet, just a few more steps, baby, wait
Okay, you can open your eyes
This is it, this is now
This is what I’ve been talkin’ ’bout
Lookin’ out, can’t you see forever?
Take my hand, just take it in
This is a moment we won’t forget
On top of the world, here, together
If there ever was a time for a perfect kiss
This is it
Girl, I know that you’ve been waitin’ and talkin’ to your friends
Wonderin’ if and wonderin’ where and wonderin’ when
Well, I’ve been waitin’ too, holdin’ onto this ring
And for the right words to say, for the right time and place, for me
To get on one knee
This is it, this is now
This is what I’ve been talkin’ ’bout
Lookin’ out, can’t you see forever?
Take my hand, just take it in
This is a moment we won’t forget
On top of the world here together
If there ever was a time for a perfect kiss
Well, this is it
This is it
Now you’re walkin’ down the aisle
And I can’t help but smile
This is it, this is now
It’s what I’ve been talkin’ ’bout
Lookin’ out, I can see forever
So take my hand, just take it in (take it in)
This is a moment we won’t forget (won’t forget)
On top of the world, here, together
Surrounded by our family and our friends
If there ever was a time for a perfect kiss
This is it
Yeah, this is it
