Bryan wrote the song along with Ross Copperman, Jon Nite, and Hillary Lindsey, three writers with whom Bryan had expressed interest in working. Bryan felt that the song would appeal to female listeners because the girl in the song controls the dynamic of the situation", and that "I've been wanting to get a big, rocking tempo out for some time and this is certainly it." [2] Lyrically, the song is about a sexual encounter with a woman; Taste of Country said of its content that "Passing references of trucks and Kentucky keep the song country, but otherwise, 'What She Wants Tonight' is a fantasy that finds Bryan subject to a wild woman's charms and urgent sexual desires. [3]
The song's release was accompanied by a music video directed by Michael Monaco. [4]
"What She Wants Tonight" has sold 51,000 copies in the United States as of March 2020. [5]
