Scotty McCreery‘s ‘See You Tonight’ video tells a homecoming love story for a member of the United States military. It’s also a homecoming for the singer, as the performance footage was filmed on the campus of North Carolina State University, where McCreery attends school.

The excitement builds throughout this Roman White-directed clip, as the man in fatigues makes his way from a military base to his sweetie at home. The beauty — played by Raleigh model Magen Medlin — doesn’t know he’s coming, and for much of the clip, she’s seen dreaming of being in his arms. The lead actor makes a couple of stops along the way, including a trip to buy flowers and one to pick up a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts. It won’t be lost on McCreery’s hometown fans that he’s paying tribute to another North Carolina institution with the trip to Krispy Kreme.

For the performance footage, McCreery and his band (plus a sizable crew) took over the Brickyard on N.C. State’s grounds. The Brickyard is a plaza and meeting place in the heart of the Raleigh, N.C. campus. Numerous events take place throughout the year on those red and white bricks.

‘See You Tonight’ is the first single and title track of McCreery’s sophomore album. The project will be available on Oct. 15, but fans who pre-order it before 7:30PM CT on Thursday (Sept. 5) will receive a copy signed by the 19-year-old rising star himself. Pre-order ‘See You Tonight’ at McCreery’s online store at his official website.

Despite only moderate Country Radio success with the singles from his debut album Clear As Day, Scotty McCreery's legion of loyal fans helped the young star secure a Platinum-certified album for sales in excess of one million copies. 

The Garner, North Carolina native and NC State sophomore will release See You Tonight on October 15, 2013. Produced by Frank Rogers, the album features 13 tracks, of which Scotty co-wrote five of the tracks, including the current Top 40 radio hit, the title track. Other star writers include Ashley Gorley, busbee, Frank Rogers, Kyle Jacobs, J.T. Harding, Ross Copperman, Matt Jenkins, Jon Stweart and Preston Brust, 1/2 of LoCash Cowboys.

“This album is a big step from where we were. I have been writing for a long time now, since I was a kid, but these are the first songs I've had a chance to record and release to the public and I'm excited,” says McCreery. “I was lucky to have my first single off the record be one that I co-wrote.  I am excited about letting folks hear it. We have been working on this for the better part of a year now, so it's a long time coming.”

“I grew up loving old-school country, and you'll hear those things come out on this record,” he continues. “You will hear the contemporary country, but you will always hear the steel guitar and fiddle and those little nuances that make the older country what it was. I definitely am trying to stay true to my tastes as an artist on this album.”

Scotty McCreery will release his new album, See You Tonight, on Oct. 15. He revealed the image of the album cover on his website Monday (Aug. 26). The project was produced by Frank Rogers. McCreery co-wrote five of the album's 13 tracks, including the lead single, "See You Tonight." The American Idol winner released his platinum debut album, Clear as Day, in 2011. Scotty also released Christmas With Scotty McCreery last year.

He may be a big man on campus. But former “American Idol” star Scotty McCreery says he wants his peers at North Carolina State to look at him as just another student. He is a sophomore at the school this year – and says he is more at ease than he was during his first year. He’s to perform Saturday at Welcome Week for the school.  

Scotty McCreery doesn’t want to be treated any differently than other students at North Carolina State University this fall. The “American Idol” winner returns to campus as a sophomore this year. 


While he could take online courses and be out on the road playing his music, Scotty prefers to experience campus life and only go out for concert dates on the weekend.

Students might find it hard to treat Scotty as anything other than a celebrity this weekend, however. The singer will perform Saturday at Welcome Week festivities at the school. 

Scotty recently announced that he was extending his fall tour through November. His ticket sales have been great, and the singer is overwhelmed. He says to sell out shows as a new artist is really amazing to him.
