The upbeat track, which Green said was written in just 20 minutes, arrives as the singer continues his busy “Cowboy As It Gets Tour” across the United States.
Speaking with Billboard, Green explained that Toby Keith played a major role in shaping his songwriting style and inspired the new release.
“The best compliment I can give a song is ‘Man, this feels like a Toby Keith song.’ Especially as a songwriter, I don’t know if there was a bigger influence on me.”

“They completely thought it was a tip of the cap to Toby, so they wanted to have his vocal on it. So it’s really a full-circle moment for me to have Toby’s vocal on that song.”

“Think As You Drunk” combines humor, storytelling and traditional country sounds. The song follows Green’s recent ballad “My Way” but takes a lighter approach, telling the story of someone insisting he is not as drunk as others think.
Green has often spoken about Keith’s influence on his career. Although he never had the chance to meet the country icon, he admired Keith’s dedication to supporting military service members around the world.
Alongside the new single, Green announced that That’s Just Me will be released on Sept. 18 through Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment.
The project follows Green’s 2024 album Don’t Mind If I Do and is expected to showcase multiple sides of his artistry, from emotional storytelling and heartbreak songs to upbeat tracks designed for summer playlists.
Green will additionally co-host CMA Fest Presented by SoFi on June 24 and recently launched his spirits brand, Duck Club Bourbon.
