    Written by Adam Daugherty, Alan Richeson, Colt Graves, and Jordan Centers, “Dirt on Me” has a typical rhythmic classic country vibe throughout which wraps eagerly around Colt Graves deep vocals as he divulges a narrative storyline with clear inspirations coming from folk, pop-rock, and classic rock. His incredible crisp vocals adds an addicting quality to the track during the verses as he discusses his feelings and the difficulties he has in life. This is all before he blasts out in awesome country-rock adding an element of pop-rock as he unleashes his decision to not let others bury him. As the ending nears, the track delves more into rock as instrumental sections impresses to no-end. “Dirt on Me” is one of those tracks that you can’t help but feel the need to listen to on-repeat, whilst Colt Graves inspires all his listeners to not let others knock you completely down.

    Talking about the track, Colt Graves said: “Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, it just isn’t good enough for some people? ‘Dirt on Me’ is for the people living true to themselves and trying to do the right thing, regardless of what anyone else has to say about it. It’s a ‘fed up with the bullsh*t’ anthem and a call to confident and more prideful arms; you can’t please everyone; the harder you try, the worse you will end up. People are always going to ‘Throw Dirt On You’ and try to drag you down, but positivity always wins, and the best thing we can do is ignore the noise and keep moving forward.”
