History

Tom Roland of Billboard described the song as "21st-century redneck disco, a four-on-the-four backbeat topped with a joyous melody, carefree lyrics and an unfettered country band". [1]

Tyler Hubbard, best known as one half of Florida Georgia Line, wrote "Dancin' in the Country" at a songwriting session on November 3, 2021 with Ross Copperman and Jon Nite. The latter two invited Keith Urban to the session as well, and none of them knew at the time that Hubbard was seeking material for a solo career. At the time they were writing, both Hubbard and Urban thought the song would be suitable for each other to record. [1] Copperman composed the song's rhythm section and Urban came up with the song's guitar riff, based around a C suspended second chord. Of the composition, Roland states that the song has a "hip-hop-like pre-chorus." [1] When recording the song in the studio, Hubbard co-produced with Jordan Schmidt. Among the contributing musicians were bassist Jimmie Lee Sloas, guitarist Rob McNelley, steel guitarist Justin Schipper, and banjoist Ilya Toshinsky. [1]

Nite said that the song's lyrics, of a romantic first encounter with a woman in a field, were inspired by his first date with his wife. [1]
