Co-produced by Smith alongside Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley, and written by Smith, Corey Crowder and Jared Mullins, the mid-tempo track tells the story of a man who lost his lover and finds solace in a 12-pack of cold ones – with
Billboard raving, “From the moment it opens with an impersonal note on the refrigerator door, ‘Colder Than You’ pairs two familiar country themes — a broken heart and a potent swig of alcohol — praising the latter for its frosty refreshment and zinging the woman behind the former for her icy disposition.”
“
Colder Than You” has been stacking praise since its release, with fans and critics alike applauding the “slow grooving, tear-in-your-beer waltz for the modern era” (
Sounds Like Nashville) and raising a glass to Smith’s “honey-and-bourbon-drenched southern drawl” (
The Virginian-Pilot). Continuing to pick up steam, the rootsy track is also featured on several of the top Country streaming playlists – from Spotify’s
New Boots and
All About Country to Pandora’s
Backroads and
New Country Now stations.
