Due to its relatable meaning and catchy beat, “Meant To Be” immediately climbed up the charts, landing at no. 1 on both the “US Radio Songs (Billboard)” and “US Hot Country Songs (Billboard)” charts. 

Aside from that, it also won the Radio Disney Music Awards for the Country’s Favorite Song category, as well as the Billboard Music Awards for Top Country Song. 

Because of this, several artists have released a version of this song, and among the most notable ones is the version of the father-and-daughter duo, The Crosby’s.
