As originally reported by The Boot, Thomas Rhett wrote "What's Your Country" after an inspiring conversation he had with his friends and fellow songwriters.
They discussed the country songs that hold special meanings for them and Rhett realized that he could write a song about how country music shapes the lives of its listeners. "We decided to dive in and make the whole song old country song lyrics that tie into a story," he explains. "Hopefully, when the listener is listening, they don't hear the song titles, but it sounds more like a story."
"What's Your Country Song" pays homage to 16 famous country songs, according to Taste of Country. Those include hits by Hank Williams, Alan Jackson, James Owen, and Rhett's own dad, Rhett Akins. Plus, the singer truly believes that anyone can relate to the lyrics, whether they're huge country fans or just dabblers. He notes, "Whether you lived in the city, or wherever you live, I think everybody has a little bit of country inside their bones."
