Chart Performance
This hick-hopped single wasted to time upon release and shot straight to No. 1 on both the Billboard Country Airplay chart and Canada Country chart.
The Song
Officially credited to Blake Shelton with Pistol Annies and Friends, it features collaborations from Pistol Annies (Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe, Angaleena Presley), rising star RaeLynn, co-writers (Rhett Akins, Dallas Davidson, Craig Wiseman), and producer Scott Hendricks.
Songwriting Notes
The song came from a Rhett Akins, Dallas Davidson and Craig Wiseman writing session. "We went to Craig's office, and Craig had this little beat machine. He turned the beat machine on, and we just started jamming on the guitar for a minute," recalled Akins to Roughstock. "Dallas goes, 'I've got a title called 'Boys 'Round Here.'' He looked up at the wall, and Craig's got a picture of The Beatles on his wall. We wanted to write a real redneck song about country boys all over the place. I guess The Beatles were in Dallas' head from looking at that poster, and he says, 'Boys 'round here don't listen to The Beatles.' We just went from there.
