Songfacts®:

  • "Ain't That Some" is a rap-influenced country culture anthem where Morgan Wallen gives props to the southern way of life.
  • During the first verse, Wallen employs jargon that southerners use while fishing.

    Hate to think of what if
    I didn't even know what a honey hole with a Zebco
    And my jeans rolled and a pinch of Skoal in my lip even is


    A "honey hole" refers to a specific location in a body of water where the conditions are perfect for catching fish. Zebco is a well-known fishing brand, while Skoal is a popular brand of smokeless tobacco.
  • In the second verse, Wallen panders to his fans and disregards the critics by listing country stereotypes:

    I know it's cliché to sing Chevrolets, cold beers and Fridays
    But that's just the way it is out here
  • Three of Morgan Wallen's go-to writers penned the song: Blake Pendergrass ("Days That End In Why," "Dying Man"), Josh Miller ("Whiskey'd My Way," "'98 Braves"), and Chase McGill ("Only Thing That's Gone," "Don't Think Jesus") alongside frequent Sam Hunt collaborator Chris LaCorte.
