This rocker finds Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger singing about kicking it back with the guys until the clock runs out. The song was made free for listening on the band's official website on September 22, 2011 and was released on September 26 concurrently with the other lead single from Here and Now, "When We Stand Together."
The pair of singles represent two different sides of the band with this song being more of a rave up, whilst "When We Stand Together" maintains a Country shuffle. Frontman Chad Kroeger told Nekesa Mumbi Moody of the Associated Press: "When you listen to this record, it sounds like it could be from four different artists. We always try and do the same thing: We try to do something heavier than we've ever done, more melodic than we've ever done, every single time we do this, and I think we've achieved it again. I think we've tried new things and explored new ideas, and I like it when people hear the songs and people say, 'This doesn't sound like Nickelback, this sounds like something different for you guys,'" he continued.
The phrase "Bottoms Up" meaning "cheers" or "good health" originates from the British Navy where it was used in the 18th century as a drinking toast. The bottoms are those of the glasses as they are tilted up over the drinkers' mouths.
