It was written based on an experience of McCurdy's.[3] Country Music Television's Alison Bonaguro described it as "a refreshing country sound from the otherwise all-pop-music factory known as Nickelodeon".[4]

ReleaseEdit
The single reached 16th and 53rd on the iTunes Country and Pop Charts, respectively, within the first day of release, and was kept on these charts for at least a week. In terms of chart performance, this was her most successful single to date.[5]

Not That Far away
Not That Far Away is the title of a song recorded by American country artist Jennette McCurdy. It was released to country radio on May 24, 2010 and as a music download on June 1, 2010. The song serves as her debut single, and the lead-off single to her upcoming debut album with Capitol Nashville.

"Not That Far Away" is an up-tempo song featuring prominent banjo and electric guitar with steel guitar fills. The song's female narrator describes the scenario of a young girl, who dreams of becoming a country artist, heading out of town to Nashville, Tennessee in pursuit of her dream. In leaving, she finds herself assuring her mother that she's "not that far away" from her hometown in California.

McCurdy said that, "This song really captures the last year of my life. I've been in Nashville writing for and recording my record and following my dream while really missing my family and friends back in Garden Grove, California." The single was chosen in a fan-voted poll that featured samples of six songs from her upcoming record; "Not That Far Away," with 30% of the total votes, was selected for release.

It reached #58 on the Billboard Country charts.
