"Home Sweet" is a song recorded by American country music singer Russell Dickerson. It was released on January 11, 2021 as a second single from his second studio album Southern Symphony.[2] The song was co-written by Lady A's Charles Kelley, Casey Brown and Dickerson, who also produced by Dann Huff.[3] A remix featuring Lady A themselves was released on November 19, 2021. The song peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, becoming Dickerson's first major-label single to miss number one.

Background

"Home Sweet" is inspired by Dickerson's wife, Kailey. They announced that they are expecting their first child in April 2021.[4] In an interview, he said: “This song is as real as it gets. The week Kailey and I got home from our honeymoon my income stopped. I was in between deals and we were flat broke,” Dickerson explained about the new track. “Now we just moved into our new house and have a baby on the way so yeah, ‘Home Sweet’ is about as spot on real life as it gets.”[5]

Music video

The music video was released on February 3, 2021, which is the eight-year anniversary of the day Dickerson proposed to his now-wife Kailey. It shows Dickerson serenading Kailey with an acoustic song professing his love before getting down on one knee with a ring in hand, Kailey tearfully replying "yes" to the life-changing proposal,[6] and goes on to characteristic clips from home-videos and self-shot footage from during the last eight years and their present-day marriage.[7]
