{{quote|"That was one of the most fun writing sessions of all time... I was clapping out a little beat. It’s something that nobody wants to see. It looks hilarious... more or less of a party vibe. We knew we wanted to make people feel good. We wanted to stretch the boundaries a little bit musically and... thought we had something special after the first few minutes of getting into that groove. We thought it was cool. We’re exceptionally proud when that one comes on. I’ve gone to the shows and seen people’s reaction to that. I think that’s a really country song in spite of whatever’s been said. I’m glad it hit as big as it did. Also no cowbell"<ref name=gorley/>}}

Content and creation

[edit]

In terms of the song's creation, co-songwriter Ashley Gorley has stated about working with Dallas Davidson and Chris DeStefano that:

"That was one of the most fun writing sessions of all time... I was clapping out a little beat. It’s something that nobody wants to see. It looks hilarious... more or less of a party vibe. We knew we wanted to make people feel good. We wanted to stretch the boundaries a little bit musically and... thought we had something special after the first few minutes of getting into that groove. We thought it was cool. We’re exceptionally proud when that one comes on. I’ve gone to the shows and seen people’s reaction to that. I think that’s a really country song in spite of whatever’s been said. I’m glad it hit as big as it did. Also no cowbell"[1]

The song is an up-tempo track in which the male narrator describes an ideal night with his lover.[3]

Critical reception

[edit]

The song received mixed to negative reviews from several critics. Billy Dukes of Taste of Country rated the song 2.5 stars out of 5, praising Bryan's performance of the song and describing the production of the song as "corny-cool."[4] He also called it "an eye-roller from start to finish", but stated that "Bryan’s absolute commitment makes it tolerable, if not enjoyable in the right setting."[4] Bob Paxman of Country Weekly gave the song a "C−" grade, saying that "it unfurls all the prerequisite clichés: jacked-up trucks, beer, getting your 'love on', and other assorted triteness", although he also said that it was "undeniably catchy and the record has some nice production touches, including the playful vocal."[3] Ben Foster of Country Universe gave the song a "D−" grade, praising Bryan's vocal performance but added that "Unfortunately, it also has unabashedly dumb, mind-numbing lyrics that insult the history of the country genre and the intelligence of its fans, shamelessly recycling cliché after cliché right from the opening verse..."[5]

In a September 2013 interview, Zac Brown stated that the song was "the worst song [he’s] ever heard." He later clarified on Twitter that he did not dislike Bryan as an artist.[6] In Bryan's defense, artist Jason Aldean posted on Instagram,[7] and one of the song's co-writers, Dallas Davidson, spoke out as well.[8]
