"If I Told You" starts out with beautiful, melodic piano riffs, before the slow tempo picks up pace with the addition of the guitar and drums. Darius sings the song's pleading lyrics in the chorus, “If I told you all the stupid things I’ve done / I blamed on being young / But I was old enough to know I know … Could you look the other way / Could you love me anyway.”

On the meaning of his new single "If I Told You"

“If I Told You” is expected to be the first single from Darius Rucker's fifth major label Country album via Capitol Records Nashville.

“I always tell people, the first time I heard [the Black Crowes’] ‘She Talks To Angels,’ those lyrics did something to me. I probably requested that song eight times at different bars in Columbia, S.C. before going home, putting on Bonnie Raitt’s Home Plate, and trying to write 'She Talks To Angels' for Bonnie Raitt. ‘Let Her Cry’ just poured out. For me, ‘If I Told You,’ is like ‘Angels’ as it’s not a song I wrote, but as a songwriter I would not change a line as it moves me to want to not only sing along, but also as a songwriter it inspires a new perspective.”
