A song that brings out the sun and makes you wanna surf right away, “Knee Deep” is from Zac Brown Band’s 2001 album, You Get What You Give. The song becomes even more special with an all-time favorite icon, Jimmy Buffet. The song relays a message about finding time to just lay back and have no worries, after all your hard work, you deserve some leisure time.
Piece by piece, the song was completed
The song is perfect for Buffett’s kind of music theme which often portrays an “island escapism” lifestyle. Wyatt Durette, one of the co-writers, admitted that he was a long time Buffett fan, and he has been thinking of a song that they could sing together. He came up with the idea of a beach-themed song, so he wrote the first verse inspired by a breakup. Later on, he brought the song to Zac Brown, and they finished until the second verse and the melody until finally, Jeffrey Steele helped them complete it.

With the creative direction of Darren Doane, the video rolled around Costa Careyes Resort in Mexico. The sites include a private beach and other nearby locations. The band spent over three days to complete the video. The was were able to bond together as they take shoots for the scenes. Zac brought also his family.
