While the laid-back, lilting track from his fourth studio album, Days of Gold, was originally released as a single back in February, it slow-burned its way up to hit No. 1 on both Billboard's Country Airplay and Hot Country charts during the heart of summer in early July.

The Florida native almost bypassed a career in music as a budding young athlete with his eye on playing golf in college at Florida State University before an injury derailed that plan.

"It ended up not happening when I hurt my shoulder and had surgery," Owen explained during an interview with Radio.com. "That's kind of what led me to pick up a guitar and start playing that. I had to find something to do."

Owen still likes to spend quality time on the links, having played some of the country's most prestigious golf course with family, friends and one of the sport's hottest emerging stars.

"I've been able to play some really great golf courses. Most importantly, I think it's the time I've spent with people playing those golf courses," he explained. "I got to play Augusta National with my dad. That was a big deal. I played Pine Valley a couple of weeks ago with some friends of mine. Pebble Beach is a great golf course out in California that I've played many times. I've played the Pebble Beach Pro-Am there the last couple of years, and that's a lot of fun. I got to play with my friend Jordan Spieth, who's the new young sensation out there on the PGA tour. I feel really lucky to be able to play those kind of places with great people and make great memories."
