History
While the song was charting, Dunn began soliciting fan suggestions for a fourth single on his Facebook page. He later posted on May 15 that Sony executives had called him and told him that the solicitations "killed the Let The Cowboy Rock single". A month later, he posted that he had exited Arista Nashville.[1]
In September 2012, Dunn remixed the single with Jeff Balding and Terry McBride for use by Professional Bull Riders.[2]

Critical reception
Giving it 3 stars out of 5, Billy Dukes of Taste of Country said that the song was "reminiscent" of Brooks & Dunn's "Play Something Country" and "You Can't Take the Honky Tonk Out of the Girl", but thought that it would have been better suited for a younger singer.[3] Bobby Peacock of Roughstock gave it 4 stars out of 5, saying that "At 58, Ronnie has lost none of his passion and spark".[4]
