The Cadillac Three is a Country trio consisting of lead vocalist Jaren Johnston, bass guitarist Kelby Ray and drummer Neil Mason. All three are former members of the Southern Rock band American Bang, whose song "Wild and Young" was a minor hit and also served as the theme tune of WWE's show WWE NXT. Johnston has a parallel career as a successful songwriter having co-penned hits for the likes of Keith Urban ("You Gonna Fly"), Tim McGraw ("Southern Girl") and Jake Owen ("Days Of Gold").
This is The Cadillac Three's debut single. Johnston told Billboard magazine that it was inspired by some classic rock. "I wanted something for our live set that mirrored 'Kashmir' by Led Zeppelin – maybe a southern version of that," he explained. "I got into writing it, and started with the lyrics, I remembered the first time I heard 'Sweet Home Alabama,' and I was just mesmerized with it. I thought 'We need something like that.' I wanted to write something that would resonate with kids the way 'Sweet Home Alabama' did for me as a kid, so that's what I was going for."
The song features guest vocals from Florida Georgia Line, Mike Eli of the Eli Young Band and The Cadillac Three's former tour mate Dierks Bentley.
