About this song
Jason Aldean released the song in May 2023, with the music video following in July. The song drew controversy after the video came out and was removed from CMT, with critics accusing it of racial dog-whistles while supporters said the lyrics never mention race. The video was filmed at the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee, a site tied to a 1927 lynching and a 1946 race riot, which supporters said were largely unknown before the release and that the singer and his production company were unaware of.
What it's about
The song draws a contrast between crime in big cities and small towns, where people care about their communities and have the means to protect themselves.
