On the surface, Craig Morgan’s newest single, “This Ain’t Nothin,” talks about meeting the challenges that life throws at you. However, following the recent death of his mother, the song took on a whole new meaning for the singer.
 
Morgan’s mother, Betty Sue, 63, recently died of cancer.
 
"It's really tough," Morgan said in an interview with Birmingham’s 973 The Buck. “It's especially tough now after having lost my mom. Everything I sing -- in particular, 'This Ain't Nothin' -- takes on a whole new meaning. But that's what Country Music is. And I think 'This Ain't Nothin',' is probably more representative of our format than a whole lot of music that you're gonna hear on Country radio right now. That's the great thing about our format. It is a broad spectrum of music, but 'This Ain't Nothin' is a Country song."

Morgan and his mother had a close relationship and bonded over their love of motorcycles. Country Weekly reports that Betty Sue would sneak joy rides on Morgan’s motorcycle while he was in school.
 
Morgan’s latest album, That’s Why: the Collector’s Edition is available at Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores.
