"Truck Yeah" is a song recorded by American country music artist Tim McGraw. Written by Chris Lucas and Preston Brust of the LoCash Cowboys, Chris Janson, and Danny Myrick,[1] the song was released on July 3, 2012 as the first single from his album Two Lanes of Freedom and his first single for Big Machine Records.[2] The release of the single overlapped McGraw's then current single "Right Back Atcha Babe," promoted by Curb Records, due to a rivalry between the two record labels.[3]

Critical reception

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song four and a half stars out of five, writing that it "isn’t intended to be the smartest song on the radio, but it might be the most fun."[4] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song four stars out of five, saying that "the swagger of the melody and McGraw's strong delivery of the lyrics" makes it a hit.[5] Ben Foster of Country Universe gave the song a failing grade, writing that "it sounds dumb and ridiculous upon arrival [...] and then it’s all downhill from there."[3]

Music video

The music video was filmed in Chattanooga, Tennessee.[6] It was directed by Chris Hicky and premiered in September 2012.[7]
