She Had Me at Heads Carolina

Here, Cole Swindell recalls being captivated by a girl after she performs Jo Dee Messina's 1996 classic "Head Carolina, Tails California" at a karaoke night. By the end of verse 2, he's joined her on stage, and afterwards they spend the rest of the evening in conversation. Now, whenever Swindell hears "Head Carolina, Tails California" he fondly remembers his fellow '90s country fan and wishes they could meet again.

Cole Swindell co-wrote "She Had Me At Heads Carolina" with Ashley Gorley, Jesse Frasure and Thomas Rhett. The original writers of "Heads Carolina, Tails California," Tim Nichols and Mark Sanders, get credited too, as it incorporates some lyrics from their song and uses its melody.

Swindell recorded "She Had Me At Heads Carolina" for his Stereotype album. He and Rhett had the original idea for the song when they were writing while on tour together. However, the pair needed to get the permission of Tim Nichols and Mark Sanders to use "Head Carolina, Tails California" before they started writing the tune. "I had no idea if they were going to be cool with it or not," Swindell told Audacy's Katy Neal. "If they hadn't been, we wouldn't have done it."
