Drinkin' Beer. Talkin' God. Amen. (feat. Florida Georgia Line)

When the coronavirus pandemic struck America in mid-March 2020, Chase Rice had to cancel his plans to tour his new album. Though disappointed, he found a silver lining in the situation. Sittin' here, drinkin' beer, talkin' God, Amen Killing time, living life with some downhome friends When the world's gone crazy, man, it all makes sense Sittin' here, drinkin' beer, talkin' God, Amen, Amen Rice explained to American Songwriter the song is a celebration of the year everybody has been forced to have. "I've sat around more fires and dinner tables," he said. "I've had more deep conversations with friends and made friends that weren't friends before." "I can't think of a better song to celebrate 2020, as opposed to people continuing to say it's been the worst year ever," Rice added. "It has been brutal - but also a blessing."

The song is a collaboration with Florida Georgia Line's Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard. The three go back a long way - Rice knew Kelley as a child, and they played Little League together. Later, upon first arriving in Nashville, he moved into a house with Hubbard and Rice, and co-wrote FGL's "Cruise" in 2012. This song is their first collaboration since that Diamond-certified smash hit.

Rice penned "Drinkin' Beer" with Cale Dodds, Hunter Phelps, and Florida-Georgia Line's producer, Corey Crowder, on a tour bus. "We wrote the song and really believed in it," he told Radio.com. "I wanted to produce a song with FGL for a long time. We worked together way back in the day and we used to live together when I first moved to Nashville and before they were Florida Georgia Line." "It was a perfect fit for us to get in there and produce this song together," Rice added.
