Producer Byron Gallimore and publishers Mosaic Music and Hold Jack Music were also honored by BMI at the event. "I Just Wanna Be Mad" is the writing duo's second #1 smash, following the immense success of "The Impossible." Recorded by Joe Nichols, "The Impossible" earned Miller and Loveless a 2003 Grammy nomination for Best Country Song.
