JEFFERSON, Ga., Oct. 21 (UPI) -- Brantley Gilbert is engaged.

"It was one of those things that was on and off for a few years -- mostly on -- and then she was the one that got away for about five years," he detailed. "It came back around and I've never been happier. This little one, she's the one, and I'm a pretty stoked dude. I'm pretty excited man, to say the least."

Gilbert confessed "most of [his] songs" are about his fiancée, including singles "You Don't Know Her Like I Do" and "More Than Miles" from Halfway to Heaven (2010). The couple plan to wed in June 2015.

Gilbert was previously engaged to One Tree Hill actress and singer Jana Kramer. He and Kramer were together for a year, and called off their engagement in August 2013.

The singer released his third studio album, Just As I Am, in May. The record debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, and includes the singles "Bottoms Up" and "Small Town Throwdown."
