The song is a mid-tempo song with country rock influences. The song has the male narrator addressing his lover and offering to party with her by telling her, "tonight it's bottoms up."[4]



Reception



Critical


Giving it 4 out of 5 stars, Markos Papadatos of Digital Journal wrote that "With this new song, he has shown maturity as both a vocalist and songwriter…'Bottoms Up' seems like a fun track for him to play at his live shows that will surely get the crowd excited."[5] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock rated it 3.5 out of 5, saying that "If you like the sound of the stuff from Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line and Thomas Rhett, you’ll certainly enjoy 'Bottoms Up.' If you wanted the more ‘edgy’ rockin’ side to Brantley, this one certainly isn’t gonna be your kind of song. It’s certainly no 'Hell on Wheels' or 'Kick It in the Sticks' but it’s also not far removed vocally from 'More Than Miles.'"[6]



Commercial


Released on December 16, 2013, the song premiered at the No. 1 spot
at Country Digital Songs with 63,000 downloads sold.[1]
The song reached a million in sales in the U.S. by April 2014, and became the first million-selling song by Brantley Gilbert.[7] The song was certified Platinum by RIAA on May 1, 2014.[8] The song has sold 1,762,000 copies in the U.S. as of June 2015.[9]



Music video


Shane Drake directed the music video.[10] In it, Gilbert is dressed in 1930s apparel and surrounded by flappers while smuggling illegal moonshine.[11][12]

A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection.

[1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease.
