Story Behind the Song
"I was on a creative high when I wrote this song," Derrick says. "'King Again'" happened at a time when I was writing about everything and anything."
Written in December 1998, "King Again" became the centerpiece of Derrick Credito's self-titled EP that was recorded in Annapolis, MD just one month later. The tune was lyrically jumpstarted when Derrick recalled "a place where an ex-girlfriend parked her car before going on a date." The rest kind of flowed from that simple but significant memory. "I had some ideas in mind at the time, for a few months I was trying to write a perfect pop song," Derrick explains. "One night I picked up my 12-string and it all kind of just happened."
"King Again" went on to become a crowd favorite at Derrick's acoustic shows all throughout 1999. After playing the song at virtually every show during a hectic year of performing, the 21-year old tunesmith often forgets exactly what inspired him
to write "King" in the first place.
"It's really hard to say what led to 'King' coming to fruition," explains Derrick. "It's definitely one of my favorites that I've written, and it always makes me smile when I see people react {to "King"}. I've been through a lot since "King," so I really can't get a grip on where I was at that point in time."
One look at the bright, happy-go-lucky songbird shows that he takes everything in stride, using his life experiences, both good and bad, as fuel for his songwriting. Derrick Credito is planning his next studio project for some time in the year 2000. Keep an ear out for hot new cuts like "Beautiful Girl," "It's Me," and "Another Place."
