Wikipedia article
'"She Likes It in the Morning' is the title of a country music song written by Clay Walker and M. Jason Greene. It was recorded by American singer Clay Walker on his 2007 album 'Fall' album and released as the album's third and final single.
The song is Walker's twenty-ninth single release on the 'Billboard' country singles charts.
However, it was his only his second single to miss the top forty.
Background
Walker stated in the website 'Nashville Hype' that She Likes It in the Morning is "A song thats playful and at the same time says that a woman needs to know that shes the most important thing in your life. A woman wants to be treated like a queen. She wants to know that she is absolutely everything to you. Thats what this song is basically saying. Its a ballad and it really reminds me of some of the stuff that I grew up listening to and lovedsome of the early George Strait stuff and even a touch of some Conway Twitty in there and Earl Thomas Conley. It just has that late 80s feel to it and I love that."
In an interview with 'Country Weekly' Walker said, "I was in Flagstaff, Arizona, and came up with that idea. I wrote it with a good friend of mine, Jason Greene. It has that real traditional sound to it, but at the same time its very modern. The song itself is a sweet song, and its one of those that I feel like women and men both get. Its masculine enough for men to like and tender enough for women. The title makes people pay attention a little bit. Its definitely got a little shock factor to it. It can seem a little risqu at the beginning, but its not. Its a tongue-in-cheek thing. As soon as you hear the second line you get it. Thats the fun of writing, and the art of writingthe fact that you can lead somebody one way, then go another.Neal, Chris 'Country Weekly' [http://www.countryweekly.com/vault/web-exclusive-fighting-good-fight Web Exclusive: Fighting the Good Fight Clay Walker talks candidly about his winning battle with Multiple Sclerosis] Mar 18, 2008
When asked about writing songs, Walked said, "As a writer, I really look for deep feelings inside myself to write about. You can learn how to write creatively with literature and study. You can even call it a craft as some writers do. Its like a movie, if it isnt something that is hitting you in a deep place and causing you to have emotions than its probably not going to do that in other people. So, when Im writing, the things that inspire me are real emotions."[http://www.desertlifestyle29.com/?p=499 Clay Walker Q&A: Online Exclusive] 'Desert Life Style' (June 27, 2011)

Reception
Matt C of 'Engine 145' gave the song a thumbs down rating. He criticized the song's title as potential to hurt the song's success, "When I read She Like it in the Morning, the first thing that came to mind was something a lot less polite than what Walker's crooning about. She Likes it in the Morning says nothing more than we love each other, and how many times have we heard it done better?"[http://www.engine145.com/clay-walker-she-likes-it-in-the-morning/ Clay Walker She Likes it in the Morning] Kevin John Coyne of 'Country Universe' gave the song a B+ rating, "She Likes it in the Morning is executed far too well to be dismissed as radio filler, and Walker's performance is what makes it work."[http://www.countryuniverse.net/2008/01/15/review-clay-walker-she-likes-it-in-the-morning/ Country Universe: Clay Walker, She Likes it in the Morning]
