This was very difficult for her to film. Her bandmate (the guitarist) actually tried to stop it a few times. She was in the middle of a divorce. Her husband cheated on her. Despite that she was singing from the viewpoint of the mistress. I can only imagine how torn she must have felt throughout the entire shoot.

@@kyeanletofsky1996 Bush recalls, “Immediately, I was just like, ’Everybody stop. Stop this! Y’all leave the room. Y’all made her cry.’ I was like a knuckle-draggin’ dad or a husband or something. I was really freaked out.” He went to console Nettles, who had stepped out of the room, and offered to send everyone home, saying they could continue taping the following day. But Nettles assured him she was fine and continued to cry during the next three takes, making it hard for Bush to watch. “About that time, I’m spent,” he said. “It’s not even noon and I’m emotionally drained. They had to tie me down to watch all of this happen. It was like watching someone torture your friend.” Interview 12/28/2007. But I guess I may have misinterpreted it.

[@seanscanlon9067]

Quite a few country music songs do that where a phrase or a term initially means one thing but is then turned around so that the same phrase or term means something else. Don't Take The Girl by Tim McGraw being one and There Goes My Life by Kenny Chesney is another.

[@moviegirl1100]

I love how in the beginning she was singing as if she were the mistress and begging the man to stay with her but then at the end she realizes that the man is never going to leave his wife and that she can do better than him. She says to him "the next time you want to leave her bed for mine, why don't you stay" and "when she begs you not to leave why don't you stay. Basically she is saying to the man. You know I don't have to sit around waiting for you to pay me some attention. I can go out and find me a man that treats me right, so I don't need you anymore

[@newgrl]

"Stuck Like Glue" is one of my least favorite Sugarland songs (earworm, the weird Jamaican rap whatever in the middle, the sentiment of the song.) Jennifer and Kristian have much much better songs. But the video for "Stuck Like Glue" is one of the best freakin' videos ever created. It's GD hilarious. I was completely agog the first few times I watched it.

[@sellm_bc_arwhite4249]

She was really emotional when filming this video. A lot of people never figure out that she's the other woman in this song. Jennifer Nettles used to sing in an Atlanta-based group called Soul Miner's Daughter. She can turn the twang in her voice on or off. A great voice. My mama always said, "If he'll cheat with you, he'll cheat on you."

[@ninline2000]

Her record label said this would never work. The very idea of her just singing into the camera while her partner strummed the guitar horrified the suits. As usual, they were full of shit. This video was a big success.

[@chuckcorum2137]

Lots of stories around this song and video, many of them sort of right but mostly wrong. The song is a reply to Reba Mcintyre's Whoever's in New England written from the perspective of the woman in New England. It was written before Jennifer Nettles' marriage broke up, but the video was shot around the time that that was going on. Sugarland has never said her marital troubles added to the emotion of the video but for whatever reason on the day they were shooting the song connected with her on a very deep level. They didn't do many takes. She was being greatly affected by it (obviously) and Kristian Bush (The guy on guitar and the other half of Sugarland) was not happy to see her in that state. The director wanted to do more takes and Kristian basically told him to stuff it.

[@flyflorida2001]

As others have said, those are real tears. She was in the middle of a divorce....They did 2 takes....after the 2nd one, her band mate (the guitarist) called it and forbid the director from shooting take 3...she couldn’t make it through the song.

I haven't really listened to much country music in over 10 years but watching you guys react to it has made me enjoy it again.

I heard (I'm from Nashville) that the producers didn't want her to do the song. They said she wrote a ballad and those don't sell.

An amazing talent and a delightful person.

This was written during her divorce. Which I know was stated already in the comments... still this doesn't get the credit it deserves. She... in real life... was cheated on... yet she took the time to write it from the point of the other woman. The tears you see are very real and raw. The guitarist tried many times to stop the filming and she insisted they go on. I know all of this is already stated in comments... but god.... the strength it took her to put this out there and film.... this song aside she is an amazing artist alone. Her live performances are just as amazing. I feel she is over looked way to much in this industry as it is. I don't know I'm rambling at this point I feel like.

[@vickimurphy5183]

Others have commented on why she was so emotional that day but I wanted to add she is also an exceptional actress. She stared in Dolly’s Coat of Many colors as Dolly’s mom and did a spectacular job. Dollys mom sang so she was perfect for the role.

[@kathgraham9209]

Oh My GOD!!!!! IT'S NOT AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL She is NOT the "other woman" She is NOT the "wife" ITS JUST A SONG!!!! "STAY"...... " It's a gut-wrenching story-song about infidelity and betrayal, written from the POV of The Other Woman." (NOT AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL, Nettles insists.) Nettles: "When I was writing the song, it felt good, but I didn't really analyze it. However, when I was done with it, and I was sitting back and playing it back, I thought, OK, this has something. I thought it was really special. It had a wonderful moment of redemption and it was a twist on a classic story. It was fresh and new. Now, that wasn't the intent when I started writing it. The intent was, hey, I want to express another side rather than rehashing the same old thing, and see how that feels emotionally." "I feel very grateful that I have never had to be or ever chosen to be or accidentally found myself to be in the space of the other woman. But I think we can all relate to the concept of being in a place in our life that isn't the healthiest for us and having to make a hard decision that isn't easy, even if it's the best decision for us, and having to experience a loss that comes from making that healthy decision." "I think it's true to the human condition of understanding and loss, but also to the rawness and vulnerability of being fallible. We make mistakes that not only hurt ourselves, but hurt other people. We many times sell ourselves short, not only in relationships but throughout our own lives. Hopefully, we come around at some point and realize our own value. Being able to have that moment in the song where she comes around and says this is very very painful but I am worth more than this -- I think everybody has either experienced that moment or craved that moment." "This is such an emotional song. It's all about being able to hear those lyrics and being able to understand them so that you can get the impact of the whole song." "This is a crazy, emotional, dramatic song about a dramatic story in a person's life."

[@austball13]

Sugarland, unfortunately, always reminds me of sad memories. Back in 2011, they were involved in a tragic accident at the Indiana State Fair. While waiting to come out to perform, a strong thunderstorm came though and knocked down their stage. Seven people were killed and many more were injured. Being from Indiana and in high school at the time, that incident left a lasting impact on me. I knew people at the concert who fortunately were not hurt.

She didn't write the song but she's said before how much she connected with the song. I've read that it was basically recorded in one take and she said she's glad that it was because it would be an emotionally difficult song to sing a second time through. The song has been covered by over 180 different artists including Prince, George Michael, Patti Labelle, Boyz II Men, and Adele.

That song and especially the video hits you right in the feels. I love the raw emotion by Jennifer and how she’s hurting, begs him to stay with her, but develops strength as the song progresses until she tells him to stay away. This topic may be uncomfortable for some but Country tells it like it is and if there’s any emotion that you’re dealing with, this genre will bottle those feelings up and make music that will hopefully help you. Great songs along the lines of this one, about infidelity, realizing your mistakes, or even getting the courage to break free from a damaging relationship are All These Years by Sawyer Brown; Promises, Reasons I Cheat, and Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart by Randy Travis; It’s Your Call by Reba McEntire; and You Were Mine by the Dixie Chicks.
