In addition, the single crossed over into the pop airwaves entering the Billboard Hot 100 at number 81. "Amazed" spent 41 weeks on the country singles chart, giving it the second-longest chart run of any country single in the 1990s. This run was later tied by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett's 2003 single " It's Five O'Clock Somewhere", which spent eight non-consecutive weeks at number one. With this accomplishment, it set a record for the longest run at number one on the country chart since Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems was initiated in 1990. The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks and remained there for eight consecutive weeks until it was knocked off by " Single White Female" by Chely Wright. The intro, verses, solo and outro are in A♭ major, the pre-choruses are in B major, and the main choruses are in D♭ major. The song is in the key of A♭ major with a vocal range from F3 to A♭4. Mayo said "Our feelings for each other just started coming out as we were writing." "Amazed" was then given to Lonestar for their 1999 album Lonely Grill and released as the album's lead single.
At the time of the songwriting, Mayo and Lindsey had begun dating and drew inspiration from their romance for the song. The song was written by songwriters Marv Green, Aimee Mayo, and Chris Lindsey. On The Sing-Off (season 4, episode 3), judge Shawn Stockman, of Boyz II Men fame, mentioned that the song had been offered to them first, and they decided to turn it down. Ben Mills, Boyz II Men and Shane Filan of Westlife have included covers in their respective albums. Since the release of the original, the song has been covered by Bonnie Tyler, Duncan James, and Fady Maalouf, all of whom have released their respective versions as singles. Only five years after Lonestar's "Amazed" topped the Billboard Hot 100 did another country song top the chart, as Carrie Underwood's " Inside Your Heaven" debuted at number one on the Hot 100 in 2005, making it one of just two songs to top the Hot 100 since 2000. The song has sold over 1,650,000 digital copies in the US as of February 2016. A pop remix of the song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks charts in 2000. The song was written by Marv Green, Aimee Mayo, and Chris Lindsey. The power ballad is the band's longest-lasting number one single and biggest hit, spending eight weeks at the top of the Billboard country chart. " Amazed" is a song by American country music group Lonestar, released on March 22, 1999, for country radio as the second single from their third studio album Lonely Grill (1999).
