Songfacts®:

  • The title track of Josh Thompson's second album, the singer penned the song with Casey Beathard and Kendell Marvel. He told The Boot that the song has more than one meaning. "It's really about turning up everything that you can possibly turn up, without necessarily talking about the volume in your car," Thompson revealed. "Turn up the music, turn up the band, turn up the cold one in your hand, turn up the feel good, turn up the crazy... you know, turn everything up, and lock the world out."

    "That's really why we ended up naming this record that, because when it's show time," he added, "or if you're out Friday night trying and you want to forget the week, turn everything up, and everything else out."
