Picture perfect memories Scattered all around the floor Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore And I wonder if I ever cross your mind For me it happens all the time It's a quarter after one I'm all alone and I need you now Said I wouldn't call But I lost all control and I need you now And I don't know how I can do without I just need you now Another shot of whisky Can't stop looking at the door Wishing you'd come sweeping In the way you did before And I wonder if I ever cross your mind For me, it happens all the time It's a quarter after one I'm a little drunk And I need you now Said I wouldn't call But I lost all control and I need you now And I don't know how I can do without I just need you now Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all It's a quarter after one I'm all alone and I need you now And I said I wouldn't call But I'm a little drunk and I need you now And I don't know how I can do without I just need you now I just need you now Oh, baby, I need you now

“Need You Now” foi co‑escrita pela própria Lady Antebellum junto com Josh Kear e produzida por Paul Worley, marcando a primeira colaboração de produção da banda com ele.
A gravação surgiu durante uma sessão de escrita madrugada adentro, inspirada na solidão e no desejo que surgem após um término, e as vozes de Hillary Scott e Charles Kelley foram mantidas em dueto de conversação, apesar da resistência dos executivos à frase “I’m a little drunk”.
O clipe, dirigido por Dave McClister e filmado no King Edward Hotel em Toronto, trocou a imagem do whisky por café, pois o diretor queria evitar uma adaptação literal e criar um ambiente ainda mais solitário.
O single quebrou recordes ao tornar‑se o nono download mais vendido da história em abril de 2011, ultrapassando “Love Story” de Taylor Swift como a canção country mais baixada, e acabou vendendo mais de 12 milhões de cópias nos EUA.
“Need You Now” foi a segunda canção country a alcançar o número 1 na Billboard Adult Top 40 (depois de “Breathe” de Faith Hill) e quebrou o recorde de mais execuções em uma semana nessa parada, superando “The Reason” do Hoobastank.
A canção ganhou quatro Grammys em 2011, incluindo Song of the Year e Record of the Year, e foi regravada em Simlish para o expansion pack “Ambitions” de The Sims 3, mostrando seu alcance além da música tradicional.
