Country Girl (Shake It for Me)
"Country Girl (Shake It for Me)" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Luke Bryan. It was released in March 2011 as the first single from his album Tailgates & Tanlines. Upon being released, it debuted at number 52 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts for the week of April 2, 2011. The song was written by Bryan and Dallas Davidson. As of April 2014, it is the third best-selling song by a male country solo artist.
Background and writing
"Country Girl" is a song about "a country girl getting up there getting a little wild", according to co-writer Dallas Davidson. Bryan said that he and Davidson came up with the idea after listening to hip-hop songs, when Bryan began playing a "groove". He then told Davidson that the country genre needed more songs about "country girls shaking it a little bit". Davidson said that he and Bryan were initially "suspicious" about the song's prospects as a hit, since it sounded so different from "Rain Is a Good Thing", which Davidson also co-wrote. After he found that he got a positive reaction from playing it in concert, Bryan then decided to release it as a single.

Country Girl (Dottie West song)
"Country Girl" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Dottie West. It was released March 1968 as the first single and title track from the album Country Girl. The song peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. In addition, "Country Girl" became West's first song to chart among the Canadian RPM Country chart, reaching a peak of number 5. West wrote the song with Red Lane.
West would be recruited in 1973 to write and sing jingles for Coca Cola commercials after an associate of McCann-Erickson Advertising heard "Country Girl" (see Country Sunshine).
"Country Girl" is identified with West's early career persona: the lyrics of the song's chorus are written on her grave. The lyrics themselves describe her love of the country and the carefree feeling – including such things as blue skies, green meadows, butterflies, home-cooked meals and family – it brings.
