Jimmie Allen and Pacman Jones encourage a beauty to “Drop It Like a Tailgate” in their newest country-meets-rap single. Mixing flirty lyrics with infectious energy and Southern swagger, Jimmie Allen kicks off the song by admiring a woman showing off her best moves on the dance floor. The DJ even gets summoned to keep the upbeat vibes going as Allen makes it clear she’s caught his undivided attention. “Hey baby I love the way you dancing / Not everybody got a body like that,” he sings with sincerity. “You got me and every guy in this room / Ready right now / To watch you break it on down.”
When the chorus hits, Allen motivates his special lady to get low, or as the song puts it, to “drop it like a tailgate.” While the lyrics celebrate tailgate culture, the phrase also doubles as a dance command for listeners everywhere who are moving along to the track.
Shortly after, Pacman Jones slides in with a laid-back flow that matches Allen’s confident energy. In his verse, he paints a picture of pulling up to a game-day tailgate and being impressed by a woman’s dancing. With a smooth cadence, he raps, “Pull up at the tailgate baby drop it down / Let me see that a*s shake / I make it rain I make it earthquake / I said it game day we ’bout to celebrate.”
From there, Pacman leans fully into the Southern and country themes, delivering lines like, “She got them cowboy boots / I got them Georgia roots,” and “Got the Willie Nelson blowing at the tailgate / I said drop it down baby make that a*s shake / Got my Stetson hat with the bucket match.”
“I’ve always loved music and I’ve got a lot of friends in the industry, so this was something I knew I wanted to do,” Pacman Jones says about the song. “Country felt like the right move, and once Jimmie and I got in the mix, it came together naturally. This song is all about having a good time. Football, music, tailgates, that’s my world, and I’m bringing that same energy to ‘Drop It Like a Tailgate.’ This song’s a hit and it’s going to be everywhere this year.”
Overall, “Drop It Like a Tailgate” is a high-energy dance anthem made for pre-games, blowing off steam, and blasting through the speakers. It’s a feel-good track that encourages confident women everywhere to shake what their mama gave them.
