Trivia

Interesting facts about Roller Coaster. By Songfacts.

This love lost story finds the narrator feeling like he's been up and down on an old beach roller coaster ride after a week-long fling. Bryan knew instantly the song was special. "The first time I heard it, it was one of the first songs that I knew would be on Crash My Party," he said. "I listened to it, and it just floored me – the visuals of it, and obviously the fact that I grew up going to the beach – and the guys who wrote it, Michael Carter and Cole Swindell, have been in my life for years." "The fact that they wrote something so spectacular made me excited," Bryan added. "It's one thing to record one of my buddies' song, but when you feel like it's going to be a great song and single, you're very excited about that."


Bryan said regarding the song's meaning: "It has all the levels of going back to young love and that feeling of sitting on the beach and young love that you lost, that you've let slip through your hands." "And so many people have done that, and the way they hook it, 'girl, you've got me twisted like an old beach rollercoaster,' is just when you hear that line snap down in me, it's just chill bump city, a visual city," he continued. "You could see them living that scene of having to part ways with one another. Man, it's powerful!"


The song's beach-themed music video was shot while Bryan was in Panama City Beach, Florida for his annual Spring Break blowout. It was directed by the singer's longtime LBTV videographer, Michael Monaco. Bryan and his wife, Caroline, used to spend Spring Break at Panama City Beach every year during college and now own a beach house there. The country star still plays an annual gig at the Florida location around the release of his Spring Break series of EPs.
