Songfacts®:

  • "Hey, Jack" is a mid-tempo heartbreak banger that's got Priscilla Block reaching for a Jack Daniel's fix. The remedy for a broken heart, served straight up.
  • Priscilla Block wrote "Hey, Jack" with Randy Montana, Jeremy Stover and Dave Cohen.

    Stover who also co-produced Block's duet with Justin Moore, "You, Me and Whiskey," knows how to stir up the booze-themed hits. While both songs are about the hard stuff, "You, Me and Whiskey" is all about living it up and soaking in the good times. "Hey, Jack" takes a different turn - it's all about Block drowning her sorrows in a glass.
  • "Hey Jack" departs from Block's more carefree tracks, such as "Just About Over You" and "Off The Deep End." However, she enjoyed writing from the perspective of her talking to alcohol.

    "I feel like a drink can be something that you lean on if you're going through a great time or a hard time, and they get sides of you that a lot of people don't," she said. "So, instead of calling an ex-boyfriend, you might call on some whiskey."
