A Tulsa native who grew up in Velma, Diffie co-penned "I Got This" with Tate Stevens, Wade Kirby and Phil O'Donnell, according to a news release.

“This one’s dedicated to all the hard workin’ guys and gals out there. I’m a guy that played football and worked in the oil fields as a young man and, when I’m singing ‘I Got This,’ I’m taken back to those days. I’ve been playing it at my shows recently and so far the reaction has been great!” Diffie said in a statement.
