Carrie Underwood’s “Southbound” is absolutely the perfect party anthem. The upbeat track was released as the third single from her 2019 studio album, Cry Pretty.
And it did well in the charts, reaching No. 11 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and No. 3 on the Country Airplay chart. While in Canada, “Southbound” peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Canada Country chart, making it her first single to top the chart since 2016.
Without a doubt, this easygoing, summer-themed party song quickly caught everyone’s attention. “It’s the first time in recent years that the Oklahoma native has offered up such a carefree track, and its good-time lyrics are all about pontoon-boat weekends, two-for-one redneck margaritas, tan lines, and cheap sunglasses,” said Sounds Like Nashville.
