It is an important transit point to Germany on European route E55, and the border crossing Cínovec is located within the town limits. There is a spa with mineral waters and a china factory there. The railroad line (Most -) Dubí - Moldava v Krušných horách, that passes through the town, was declared a national monument in 1998. After the Velvet Revolution, the town received bad publicity due to rampant prostitution, fueled by the close proximity to Germany, location on a main truck route and low purchasing power in the Czech Republic; municipal authorities have been struggling with this issue with some recent successes.

Critical reception

The song has achieved critical acclaim, with music critics labeling it as "very catchy" and one of the stand-out tracks on Pioneer. Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song four and a half stars out of five, writing that it "is best enjoyed at an extremely loud volume. It’s the type of song that sells concert tickets, because you know it’s going to be quite a moment when the group gets to thrashing around on stage during the three-and-a-half minute track." Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song four stars out of five, saying that "the melody puts the Up in Uptempo while Kimberly Perry delivers a vocal that's all attitude and sass."
