Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Dust. By Songfacts®.

This Rock-tinged cut about a girl taking charge of her life and leaving her small town life behind was written by Eli Young band members Jon Jones and James Young with Kyle Jacobs and Josh Osborne. "I feel like I've read so much recently about the girls being seen as weak in Country music in the way that they are portrayed," said Jones. "I really love this song because I call it 'a big girl power song.' All four of us are married to very strong women who allow us to go out and do what we do and we couldn't do it without them."

This was the last song the band recorded for 10,000 Towns. "We had a practice space in town to try to figure out what songs we wanted to do for the last session," Jones recalled to Billboard magazine. "(Producer) Justin Niebank came in and said 'Dust' - let's just go for it. I think we've got what we need on this record. Let's just unleash it, and let it be a drivin' rockin' song. I think because he gave us that freedom, it came out being very special."

The song was released as the second single from 10,000 Towns. "We weren't looking for it to become a single," said Jones. "We were looking for a fun song to play live."
