Content edit
"Drinkaby" was co-written by Jon Pardi, Michael Hardy, Jordan Schmidt, and Hunter Phelps. Swindell told the blog Taste of Country that he chose to record the song because he "pictured it being a show-opener". The title is a portmanteau of "drink" and "lullaby", referencing the narrator's attempts to "drink away heartbreak".[1] The song is included on Stereotype Broken, a 2023 re-release of his 2022 studio album Stereotype.[2]
