| Song |
Backwoods is a country music song, written by Justin Moore, Jeremy Stover, and Jaime Paulin. The song was recorded by Moore on his self-titled debut album, from which it was released as his third single in October 2009. It became his second Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart with a peak of #6 in May 2010.
Content
"Backwoods" is an up-tempo song in which the narrator lists off various contents of his "backwoods" and states he is proud of his "real good life in the backwoods." "Backwoods" was co-written by Moore himself, along with the producer of the song and album, Jeremy Stover, and Jamie Paulin. Moore told The Boot that the song was written in about 20 minutes. Moore says, "One of us just started rambling, and the other one started playing the groove of it. Some songs you write and know it's a really good song, then some of them you get into the studio and it comes to life then. This was one of those songs. I liked it when I wrote it, but when we got done doing it in the studio, we both went, 'Man, this has got to go on the album!'"
Critical reception
The song received negative reviews from music critics. Country Universe reviewer Kevin John Coyne gave the song a D rating, saying "empty barrels make the most noise." Juli Thanki of the 9513 gave the song a thumbs-down rating, saying that the song "sound like something stolen from Jason Aldean’s recycle bin."
Music video
Directed by Kristen Barlowe, the music video was released on CMT.com on November 5, 2009..
Chart performance
In May 2010, the song reached its peak of #6 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
