"5-1-5-0" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Dierks Bentley. It was released in April 2012 as the third single from his 2012 album Home . The song was written by Bentley, Brett Beavers, and Jim Beavers.
Co-writer Jim Beavers told Taste of Country that the idea for "5-1-5-0" came about when Bentley and he were discussing Van Halen's album 5150 . Beavers said that he changed the pronunciation from "fifty-one-fifty" to "five-one-five-oh", and rhymed it with "somebody call the po-po" after seeing a police car. [1]
The title is a reference to the 5150 "involuntary psychiatric hold" in the California Welfare and Institutions Code. In it, the narrator sings that his lover is making him "crazy". [2]
Bobby Peacock of Roughstock gave the song four stars out of five, saying that it was "fun to listen to" and "sticks in the head after only one listen." [3] Billy Dukes of Taste of Country rated it four-and-a-half stars out of five, calling it "three minutes of reckless energy". [4]
The music video was directed by Wes Edwards and premiered in June 2012. [5] No EVH 5150 amplifiers are in the video.
