Reception edit

Michael Hamersly of The Miami Herald called the song a "ranchy anthem".[2] Tom Bowker of The Miami Herald noted that by 2005 the song had become a "club hit".[3] According to The Dallas Morning News by October 2005 the song had reached number 10 on a list of "Local Pop Singles".[4]

Impact edit

The popularity of the song later motivated Debbie D. to leave the group Avenue D; she commented in a 2009 interview with The Miami Herald, "I was ready to do something new. I was tired of everybody coming up to me and asking me, 'Do I look like a slut?' Irony only goes so far. We turned into the characters in our songs. We wrote them when we were 21. By 28 I had just outgrown it."[3]
