"Head Over Boots" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Jon Pardi.

Background

The song was written by Pardi and Luke Laird in January 2015 at Laird's Creative Nation office in Nashville.^[1] According to Pardi, the song was inspired by watching young and old couples dancing in a Texas dance hall, and he wanted to write a song that people could dance to.^[2] The song was produced by Pardi and Bart Butler and recorded at Ocean Way Studios.^[1]

The song has a moderate shuffle tempo in the key of G major, with a main chord pattern of G-D-Em-C-Cm. Pardi's vocals range from E₄ to E₅.^[3]

Reception

Critical

An uncredited review from Taste of Country was favorable, saying that it "immediately separates itself from his previous, mostly party-centric cuts" and that the "swinging feel of 'Head Over Boots' is the song's signature. Lyrically the singer and co-writer Luke Laird don't reinvent the love song."^[4] In 2017, Billboard contributor Chuck Dauphin put "Head Over Boots" at number two on his top 10 list of Pardi's best songs.^[5]
