Background and composition
[edit]Following the success of his debut album Cold Beer & Country Music, Zach Top began teasing new material during his live performances while wrapping up production on his new record.[1] During a Q&A session at the 2025 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Top confirmed that the album was near complete and in the final mixing stages, with a release scheduled for later that year.[2]
The song was co-written by Top alongside his producer, Carson Chamberlain, and Wyatt McCubbin.[3] It was officially released on June 9, 2025.[4] The release was surprise-released immediately after Top performed the song on the main stage of Nissan Stadium during his CMA Fest debut in early June 2025.[4][5]
Critical reception
[edit]The song was named by Jessica Nicholson of Billboard as one of five "must-hear new country songs" alongside songs by Hailey Whitters and Old Dominion.[6] Nicholson added that it was "strongly Alan Jackson-coded."[6]
Music video
[edit]The music video for "Good Times & Tan Lines" was directed by Citizen Kane Wayne and premiered on June 30, 2025.[7]
