"Truck Bed" is a song co-written and recorded by American singer Hardy. It was released on May 25, 2023 as the fourth single from his second studio album The Mockingbird & the Crow . The song was written by Hardy, Ashley Gorley, Ben Johnson and Hunter Phelps, and produced by Joey Moi.
The song's main theme is the narrator waking up in the bed of his truck after becoming intoxicated, and expressing his anger at his situation. Billy Dukes of Taste of Country wrote, "one doesn't feel Hardy's fury until the very last chorus in this song, when a full-throttled electric guitar replaces the gentler version that had been plucking along as he tells of getting blackout drunk in the front yard of his girlfriend's house." [1] Whiskey Riff writer Brady Cox thought the song contained influences of both country and heavy metal. [2]
In July 2023, Hardy released the song's corresponding music video. The video includes cameos from John Daly, King Bach, and Taylor Lewan. This video was directed by Justin Clough. [3]
