Kelley, 35, and the other half of the band, Tyler Hubbard, have both embraced physical fitness as a stress reliever.
The 35-year-old also revealed that he’s learned to cope by balancing “good worry” with “bad worry.”

"Definitely think that helps out with worrying and just getting, maybe a little anxious."

He continued: "I used to beat myself up about worrying some, and I’ve gotten better about it, but I think when you’re thankful for the things you have and the things that matter there is a little bit of a good worry because you don’t want to lose that.”

“It’s a daily fight but you’ve just gotta trust God, trust yourself and get out there and get it,” Kelley concluded.

Kelley added: "We’ve done it differently in the past where we’ve taken maybe eight to 10 months' time to record, and knocking it out this quick, it was different. It was fresh and just some really cool energy in the studio, scheming up, tweaking songs and trying to make them better, and I think we achieved that."
