Wikipedia article"'Flatliner'" is a song co-written by American country music artist Cole Swindell featuring vocals from Dierks Bentley. The song was released to radio on January 23, 2017 as the third single to Swindell's second studio album 'You Should Be Here'. The song was written by Swindell, Jaron Boyer and Matt Bronleewe in 2012. CompositionIn a sizzle reel, Swindell described the song as "about a hot girl in the club, dancing on the dance floor, making your heart stop, killing all the guys out there who are watching." Critical receptionJoseph Hudak of 'Rolling Stone' gave a negative review of "Flatliner", criticizing it as "a hit that employs the laziest clichs of contemporary country music". He called the song "a step back for Swindell as a serious artist", compared to the maturity in the lyrics of previous releases "You Should Be Here" and "Middle of a Memory". In 2017, 'Billboard' contributor Chuck Dauphin put "Flatliner" at number ten on his top 10 list of Swindell's best songs.
