Interesting facts and trivia about Take A Little Ride. By Songfacts®.

This fun-loving cut finds the song's protagonist taking a little ride in a truck with the one that he loves after a hard week's work. "Can't wait for the sun to go down. Roll into town. Shine the old truck up," Aldean sings. "I thought this would be a great lead single to come with after 'Fly Over States.' It's about grabbing your girl and getting lost in the country. Sounds like a pretty good Friday night to me!," he explained. The song was released on July 16, 2012.

The tune was penned by New Jersey native Dylan Altman (Jake Owen's "Barefoot Blue Jean Night"), Texan Rodney Clawson (Blake Shelton's Drink On It") and New Orleans-born Jim McCormick (Brantley Gilbert's "You Don't Know Her Like I Do").

The song debuted at #12 on the Hot 100. Its quick journey into the upper reaches of the chart earned Aldean his best ever arrival, overtaking the #54 start for "My Kinda Party" in 2009.
