Parmalee's fifth No. 1: where "Gonna Love You" met the 2025 tour

Parmalee closed 2024 with another country-radio milestone. On December 2, BBR Music Group announced that "Gonna Love You" had become the group's fifth No. 1 single and its fourth consecutive chart-topper. The success arrived as the North Carolina band prepared its Fell In Love With A Cowgirl headline tour, scheduled to begin the following February with Avery Anna as special guest.

The band's lineup brought family and longtime friends together: brothers Matt and Scott Thomas on lead vocals and guitar and on drums respectively, their cousin Barry Knox on bass, and Josh McSwain on guitar and keyboards. Earlier in 2024, the group performed "Gonna Love You" on Good Morning America and The Kelly Clarkson Show. The single's run therefore linked radio success with television appearances and the band's next concert itinerary.

In the label announcement, the band described "Gonna Love You" as a departure from the previous three singles. They also connected it to their own history and to the experience of filming the music video, describing the shoot as difficult but a way to move forward. The song's refrain promises devotion through adversity, giving that personal context a place inside a direct, emotionally focused country song.

The Fell In Love With A Cowgirl Tour was announced to open in Madison, Wisconsin, on February 13, 2025, and finish in Edmonton, Alberta, on March 22. Matt Thomas linked the run to new music planned for 2025 and to the desire to return to some cities visited while touring with Kane Brown. The itinerary combined familiar markets with places the group had not previously played, while Avery Anna supplied the named guest partnership.

The fifth No. 1 and the headline run captured two different kinds of momentum: a song reaching a radio milestone and a band preparing to take its own show back to listeners. "Gonna Love You" carried the more serious emotional thread, while the Cowgirl tour title pointed toward the next release cycle.
