"Good Lookin'" is a song written and recorded by "Dixon Dallas", the country music alter-ego of prolific musician Jake Hill.

Contents

The song describes the positive emotions and attraction between the singer and his lover, and the physical expression of that attraction and love.

Reception

The song became popular and met a warm reception. When Dallas released a clip of "Good Lookin'" on TikTok, the video became viral and amassed over twenty million views within two months of posting. [1]

The song "took the Internet and streaming services by storm" and was described as catchy, raunchy, and unique [2] and "such a bop." [3]

It was also noted that the raunchy lyrics are part of the appeal of the song. [4]

Gay content

The song "Good Lookin'" includes blunt sexual content and explicit descriptions of sexual acts between two men. The gay content is positioned between the traditional framework of a country love song, which has been associated with traditional and conservative values for decades. [5]

Dallas faced criticism for introducing explicit gay content into the country music space, and gaybaiting for commercial success. However, he claims he creates music with gay themes because it brings positivity to the world, saying:

The amount of messages I get from people saying 'I'm a gay man. We don't have this type of music. It makes me feel seen. It makes me feel heard and comfortable in my skin.' Those messages are what makes me want to keep doing this. [6]
