Great choice for the next single! I think he could possibly get his 3rd straight #1 with this.

The verses give me "Buy Me a Boat" and "Fix a Drink" vibes. Which, worked well for him... but I guess it's getting a little redundant? I liked "Done" because it sounded nothing like his other singles.

He sounds so derpy on the verse lol. It's a catchy song and all but... meh. Pretty weak coming off of "Done" IMO. I much prefer "Buy Me A Boat" which this tune reminds me of a bit.

Amazing single choice, very catchy, favorite from the album.
It's radio friendly, so should do well on the chart!

I know this is a third album single but does anyone else feels like this is moving pretty slow even for Chris Janson standards? 10 weeks on Billboard and Chris Janson is only at #55 with a negative bullet in fact the past 3 weeks on Billboard Chris Janson has gained 6k in audience during that time. Obviously this song is still pretty young and could still turn into a hit but the start for this song is definitely discouraging as this should be outpacing LoCash's third single from their album instead of being only 2k in audience apart.

It's definitely off to a slower start than I would've thought, but there's still time for it to turn around. I'm not invested much either way thankfully as this is just a radio filler song for me. |

I haven't heard it on my local stations yet but I'm still hearing "Done" like it's still a top 5 current so it might just be that "Done" is still getting good airplay.

I like a good uptempo song in the winter as much as anyone ... but this would've been better served as a summer single.

I haven’t heard this on the radio yet, but I’ll assume there is a radio edit to the line “Sick and damn tired of being somebody’s bitch” in the 3rd verse. If not, that could explain its struggles thus far.

This song went recurrent on Billboard tonight, I am unsure if this song will rebound as it has spent 23 weeks on the chart only to reach up to #45. The song is still being promoted as it got an add this week in Country Aircheck, but I won't be shocked even if this comes back if it misses the Top 30 at least

I fully expect it to come back on the chart, Warner was running ads for it just last week so I don't think they're going to give up on it just yet.
It's really struggling though and I'm not sure I see this one turning into a hit.

I really enjoy this song, and I'm very surprised that it is struggling.
Hope it will come back.

Okay it has been a month since this went recurrent on the chart and in the span of 4 weeks this song has lost 20 spins and 145k in audience. Obviously the label is still behind this song but I feel like this song has kind of stalled out it feels like.

A week or 2 ago there was an ad in Country Aircheck for it so they're definitely still pushing it.

Maybe this isn't working because people are sitting at home getting stimmy checks and unemployment?
Waiting on dawn to start on 6?

Just re-entered into the Airplay Chart at #48!!
This song is such a catchy jam, so hoping this still has a chance to become a hit.

Tired of all these zombie songs still hanging around and making the charts even more static than they actually are. Just like current singles by Rascal Flatts, Brantley Gilbert and Locash, this one is going nowhere and only taking up space on the airwaves.

Summer Mix is out now.
The original song is already a summer jam that I don't think this was needed.

The remix that nobody asked for. What a disaster.

Like with LoCash's latest I wonder if the label decided to stop promoting this as this has a negative bullet of 121.
Certainly won't be sad to see this go as it has been doing nothing for quite a while and it is beyond time to let this one go.

This is one of those rare songs that I’ll never understand why it didn’t catch fire. Coming off of two smashes in “Good Vibes” and “Done” this one seemed like a no brainer. Actually pretty bizarre it went ignored
