That's Why

That's Why is the fifth studio album released by American country music artist Craig Morgan. It was released on October 21, 2008 as his first album for BNA Records (see 2008 in country music) after his exiting Broken Bow Records earlier that same year. As with his first two Broken Bow albums — 2003's I Love It and 2005's My Kind of Livin' — Morgan co-produced the album with Phil O'Donnell. They co-wrote the lead-off single "Love Remembers", which became Morgan's sixth Top Ten hit on the Hot Country Songs charts in November 2008. Following this song was "God Must Really Love Me", which became his first single to miss the Top 20 since "Look At Us", which peaked at number 27 in 2004. A May 21, 2009 reissue added two new songs, including "Bonfire," which was released that month as the third single. As of September 18, 2010, the album has sold 60,868 copies in the U.S.
