Content

Bryan wrote the song with the songwriting team The Peach Pickers (Rhett Akins, Dallas Davidson, and Ben Hayslip).

Thematically, the song is about a rural lifestyle in Bryan's and the Peach Pickers' home state of Georgia. Included are an "out of phase" guitar solo from J. T. Corenflos, a banjo line played by Ilya Toshinsky, and drum fills by Greg Morrow. [2] The song is in a moderate tempo and 2
2 time signature, in G mixolydian with a main chord pattern of G-F/G-C/G-G. Bryan's vocals range from B3 to E5. [3]

Critical reception

A review from Taste of Country was favorable, saying that "The singer’s simple message will further endear him to the fans who already buy his albums, scream the words to every song at concerts and hunt in his brand of camouflage. He’s a master at giving his audience the music they want, but in this case he also pays homage to a classic sound that...is making a comeback. 'Huntin’ and Fishin’ and Lovin’ Every Day'[ sic ] is filled with details that feel specific to Bryan’s life or raising." [1]

Music video

The music video was directed by Michael Monaco and Hunter Jobes and premiered in April 2016. [4]
