 Later in 2002, "Where Were You" won both the Academy of Country Music and CMA honors for "Song of the Year" and "Single of the Year".In 2003, "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)" earned Jackson his first Grammy Award, for "Best Country Song".It was also nominated in the overall "Song of the Year" category, a rarity for a pure country song, but it lost to "Don't Know Why", written by Jesse Harris and a hit for Norah Jones.
