Welcome to The List,

Today we take a look behind the scenes of how a couple of your favorite songs came to be…we start off with Elvie Shane, his song ‘My Boy’ continues to climb the charts it’s even been on the Top Kix at Six.  But where did the idea for the song come from…“I had just been sent a post on Facebook that said, 'I don’t have a step son; I have a son that was born before I met him.' Man, that resonated with me, there was a message there and I wanted to get it out. Nick Columbia said, “Well tell me about your step son." I said “Man, he’s MY BOY” and the rest is history".

You love the song and know the dance…’Fancy Like” today we get the scoop on how FANCY Walker Hayes really IS” On my socials I get a lot of people that watch me and my kids and my wife at home and their like ‘we also eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch.  Sometimes I think they get this impression that our life is fancier than theirs. I guess Fancy Like was my response to that, like nah…we’re pretty normal average joe people.” They may be “average Joe people” but I’m still struggling with that fancy dance!

Britney Spears will have another big day in court today with cries to Free Britney at an all-time high. Spears will likely appear virtually as she has previously at the conservatorship hearing set to take place at 1:30 p.m. PT in Los Angeles. The hearing's top item is the removal of Spears' father, Jamie Spears, as conservator of her estate. There is also the slight possibility that the conservatorship could be terminated.  If you don’t know what’s going on I suggest the documentary on Netflix “Britney vs Spears’ it’s very insightful and will get you caught up.
