Background and writing

Durrette told Taste of Country that the idea of the song came to him while driving to meet a friend at the Georgia Aquarium. He said that he started to think about "a small list of things [he] probably should’ve been doing instead". Having come up with a first verse, he presented it to James Otto, who helped him on the melody, second verse and chorus before Brown finished the song. [2]

Content

In "No Hurry", the narrator sings about relaxing to forget about his daily problems, and that he "ain't in no hurry today".

Critical reception

Giving it four-and-a-half stars out of five, Bobby Peacock of Roughstock wrote that "If anyone can convince me that he's really going fishing to take the weight of the world off his mind, it's Zac Brown." He also praised the song for being "unhurried, laid back without feeling lethargic." [3] Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song two and a half stars out of five, saying that "the weighty instrumentation and pacing of the ballad doesn't quite jive[ sic ] with the carefree message" and that "one's left feeling … nothing, really, despite sharp and colorful lyrics." [4]

Music video

The music video was directed by Cole Cassell and premiered in May 2012. [5]
