Content
"Red High Heels" is an up-tempo country song, backed primarily by electric guitar. The song's female narrator, a young woman who is frustrated by a troubled past with a former ex, tells him that she'll move on in her "red high heels".
The song's title is predicated on Pickler's love for collecting shoes, and has become her signature song.[http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/news/display.htm?StoryID=80415 Frederick News Post: Kellie Pickler, Lady Antebellum rock the fair]
