Background

Lady Antebellum appeared on the first episode of the second season of American songwriting competition series, Songland, which aired April 13, 2020.[4] Canadian singer-songwriter Madeline Merlo presented the episode's winning song, "I'll Drink to That", which she co-wrote with Tina Parol, David Thomson, Patricia Conroy. After opting to record the song, the members of Lady Antebellum made adjustments to the lyrics with its producer, Shane McAnally, and the title was changed to "Champagne Night".[5] Following its digital release alongside the airing of the episode, the song hit number one on the American iTunes all-genre sales chart and remained in the top ten the following week.[6] On April 20, 2020, the group released the song to country radio.[7] This made "Champagne Night" the first winning song from Songland to be promoted as an official radio single.[8]

On May 11, 2020, Lady Antebellum performed "Champagne Night" for the first time in at home edition of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.[9] Another at-home performance of the song was broadcast during the Season 18 finale of The Voice on May 19, 2020.[10] On June 3, they played the song in a television special CMT Celebrates Our Heroes: An Artists of the Year.[11]
