Toby Keith Cranks Up the Heat with “She’s A Hottie”
In 2008, Toby Keith, the outspoken country music icon, surprised fans with a new track, “She’s A Hottie,” on his compilation album “35 Biggest Hits.” This single departure from the greatest hits collection became a chart-topper, reaching number 13 on the US Country chart.
While not much is documented about the song’s specific inspiration, “She’s A Hottie” fits comfortably within Keith’s signature style. It’s a light-hearted, catchy tune that celebrates a woman’s physical attractiveness. The lyrics paint a picture of a confident woman with a “smokin’ little body” who rocks a string bikini and a “barbed-wire tat.” The chorus playfully emphasizes her hottie status, punctuated by a driving beat.
This wasn’t Keith’s first foray into songs about attractive women. Throughout his career, tracks like “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” and “How Do You Like Me Now?!” showcased a similar appreciation. “She’s A Hottie” follows suit, adding a touch of summer fun to the mix.
The song’s release in 2008 coincided with a period of immense commercial success for Keith. “35 Biggest Hits” itself went platinum, solidifying his place as a country music mainstay. “She’s A Hottie” became a welcome addition to his live shows, often generating a lively response from the audience.
While the song might not be the deepest on Keith’s discography, it serves as an energetic ode to summertime eye candy. It’s a reminder of Keith’s ability to craft a catchy tune that gets toes tapping and heads nodding. So crank up the volume, put on your sunglasses (and maybe a string bikini?), and get ready to enjoy Toby Keith’s celebration of a hottie with a whole lot of sass.
