John Anderson and Lionel Delmore collaborated on the composition of the song “Swingin.” Swingin’s 1983 debut on John Anderson’s album Wild and Blue was a big success, where it debuted at no 71 on US Billboard Hot Country Singles.

The song then reached its pinnacle at No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and No. 43 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in the same year. Due to the massive success of his 1994 album Country til’ I Die, he made the decision to record it again for this reason. However, he only released it as a B-side at the time.

Swingin is a song about a man’s love story that takes the listener back to his early years when he first fell in love with a girl named Charlotte Johnson. The scenario developed when they sat down on the front porch swing, where their blossoming romance flourished, and they fell in love that moment forward. 

There is no doubt that Swingin is one of John Anderson’s songs that has played a significant role in his career. And he is extremely thankful to have recorded and co-written it. He even said in an interview that, Swingin’ is the type of song that sort of transports us back to where we were back then, and it gives us that nostalgic and wonderful feeling.

Since the song was so catchy, groovy, and so popular, some new young listeners today still know every word of its lyrics. That’s why it is plausible to conclude that Swingin succeeded in keeping John Anderson relevant for so many years. 

Even other musicians continue to do covers of the song; the most current was performed by The Mavericks in 2019 for a digital download single.

Having said that, if you’re seeking for a song to take you on a trip down memory lane, ‘Swingin’ by John Anderson is definitely the perfect one for you, and you may listen to it right now by clicking here.
