Rascal Flatts is premiering their new video for “Yours If You Want It” today exclusively across platforms on Entertainment Weekly and People.
The new video features Gary Levox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney as diner employees and was filmed at the Hermitage Cafe, bringing the trio full circle, back to the site of the very first photo shoot of their career. The clip also stars actors Kevin Farley (The Waterboy, Still The King) and Kristy Swanson (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, The Chase) as a couple in a whirlwind romance.
The trio enlisted buddy Billy Zabka (Karate Kid, Most), who previously worked on their “Why Wait” video, to direct them in the funny and nostalgia-spirited scenes of the new clip.

“We had so much fun filming this video, and I think that really shows when you watch it back,” said LeVox. “The three of us are always joking around so when our good friend Billy came up with the idea for us to actually work at the diner where Kevin and Kristy’s scene is playing out, we definitely went for it! The atmosphere on set was amazing and hopefully everyone enjoys watching it as much as we did making it.”
Prior to being premiered on national media, industry members and media were treated to a special showing of the video at the Hermitage Cafe this morning (March 16) in downtown Nashville.
After enjoying eating breakfast at the diner, guests were greeted by Big Machine Label Group CEO/founder Scott Borchetta who said, ”There’s so much good that’s happening around Rascal Flatts and they continue to make great music. It’s so exciting for me to see the three of them so committed and still having so much fun doing this. They are what great bands hope to become.”
Jay DeMarcus, who produced the record, added, “Thank you to Gary and Joe Don for trusting me with having the reigns and putting their faith and trust in me to guide the ship musically.”
