### 2010–2012: Thompson Square

Thompson Square signed to Stoney Creek Records, a division of Broken Bow Records, in January 2010. The duo released their debut single "Let's Fight" in mid-2010. Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the single four-and-a-half-stars out of five, with his review calling it "one of the catchiest, best-written singles of the 2010 summer season so far." The song debuted on the Hot Country Songs chart for the week ending June 5, 2010.
On July 12, 2010, Thompson Square released their second single, "Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not," written by David Lee Murphy and Jim Collins. It became the duo's first number one single on the Hot Country Songs chart and has been certified double-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. It was the most played song of the year on Country music radio. Thompson Square received two nominations at the 54th Grammy Awards for "Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not" in Best Country Duo/Group Performance and Best Country Song categories.
Their self-titled debut album was released on February 8, 2011. It was produced by New Voice Entertainment, a production team which includes members of labelmate Jason Aldean's road band. A third single, "I Got You," was released May 9, 2011, and reached a peak of number 8 on the country charts. Thompson Square wrote "I Got You" with Jason Sellers and Paul Jenkins.

The duo wrote this song with Sellers and Jenkins. It served as the lead single to their second Stoney Creek album, Just Feels Good, which was released on March 26, 2013. The album's second single, "Everything I Shouldn't Be Thinking About", was released to country radio on June 10, 2013.
