The first single from Brad Paisley's eighth studio album features both a spoken word contribution by radio personality and Opry announcer Eddie Stubbs and harmonies by the Brentwood Baptist Church choir. It was released to Country radio on September 21, 2012.
Paisley penned the song with Chris DuBois and Kelley Lovelace, the same trio that penned the singer's previous hits, "Online", "Water," and "Remind Me."
The thought provoking single finds Paisley singing about all the great things he loves about the South but he goes on to challenge his fellow Southerners to step outside of their "Southern Comfort Zone" and appreciate all the good things elsewhere. "I will say, I love Nashville and I love the South and I love living in that area," he told The Tennessean. "It's very comfortable, and we all feel so at home there. It's not until you see the world that you learn to appreciate that. I'm encouraging people to take a look around. There's some great places around the world that will expand your mind and also make you love this Southern comfort zone." The title is a play on Southern Comfort, a popular liqueur.
