This week's No. 1 song in the country is once again "Get Your Shine On" by Florida Georgia Line. Roughstock decided to sit down with one of the four writers on the song -- Rodney Clawson -- to talk about the tune and how the inspiration came to him, Chris Tompkins and FGL's Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard the day they sat down to write.
"Chris and I wrote that with Brian and Tyler," Clawson tells Roughstock. "I think Brian and Tyler came in with that idea, wanting to write that song ... using 'shine' where people could think of it as moonshine, and they could think of it as when people go through the work day and go to a party or a bar or a party after work and start drinking ... they just kind of lighten up and get to smiling and having a good time. It could be that, too. We tried to write it in both of those, where you can take it either way.
"Brian and Tyler have really good song ideas," Clawson praises. "They come in a lot of times with a few lines to a verse or maybe a line or two in the chorus, and we just kind of help piece it all together. Obviously Chris is a great, great track guy. He kind of built the beat and the loop and the feel of it. It was a really fun writing day."
