Wikipedia article




"'Back That Thing Up'" is a song written by Jeremy Stover and Randy Houser, and recorded by American country music artist Justin Moore. It was released in July 2008 as Moore's second single from his self-titled debut album. The song peaked at number 38 on the US 'Billboard' Hot Country Songs chart.

Content



This song uses elements of country rap and country rock as well as sexual innuendo to describe a girl handling equipment on a farm (e.g. "Throw it in reverse, let Daddy load it up").

Critical reception



Kevin John Coyne of 'Country Universe' gave the song a B grade, stating that he would be "lying if [he] said [he] wasn't disappointed that this isn't a countrified version of the Juvenile hit. Alas, it's just a hillbilly rave-up that finds a country boy trying to get a city girl used to farm life, using backing up a truck as an awkward sexual metaphor" and that Moore "throws himself fully into the lyric like he was Joe Diffie singing a mid-1990s novelty number". In 2017, 'Billboard' contributor Chuck Dauphin put "Back That Thing Up" at number ten on his top 10 list of Moore's best songs.

Music video



The music video was directed by Wes Edwards and premiered in July 2008.

Chart performance



This song debuted at number 55 on the 'Billboard' Hot Country Songs chart for the week of August 23, 2008.
