Atkins’ song “Watching You” was a No. 1 hit on the Billboard U.S. Hot Country Songs chart after its fall 2006 release. The subject is the star’s little boy, but he’s not so little anymore.

As late Father’s Day gift, country music legend Rodney Atkins released tease of his hit song ‘Watching You’ with the son he wrote it about.

As a refresher, Rodney released “Watching You,” a touching song inspired by his then-five-year-old son, Elijah, in 2006.

On songs like the album’s title cut — a current No. 1 Billboard country hit — Atkins pumps blood into the men he portrays in his lyrics.

Rodney Atkins doesn’t really look at TikTok, so he had no idea one of his songs has been trending on the social media app.
