"A Bar Song (Tipsy)" is a song by American singer Shaboozey. The song was released April 12, 2024, as the fourth single from his album Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going. It topped the charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, and the United States and has reached the top ten of the charts in Denmark, Iceland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. The song has become the longest running number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2024.[2]

Release and composition

Shaboozey released "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" on April 12, 2024. The song interpolates J-Kwon's 2004 single "Tipsy".[3] Lyrically, the song is about a narrator who is frustrated from hard work at his job, and takes out his frustrations by drinking alcohol at a bar and having fun.[4]

"A Bar Song (Tipsy)" by Shaboozey is in the key of A Major with a tempo of 81 BPM, which can also be interpreted as 162 BPM in double-time. The song has a 4/4 time signature, indicating four beats per measure. The chord progression includes F♯m A D E,[5][6] which are used throughout the track. These elements define the song's harmonic and rhythmic structure.

There were also remixes released, from Swedish DJ Alesso and French DJ David Guetta.

Commercial performance

"A Bar Song (Tipsy)" charted at number one on Billboard's Hot Country Songs. As it succeeded Beyoncé's "Texas Hold 'Em" at the top, it made for the first time in history that two consecutive black artists held the number-one position there.[7] This song made Shaboozey the first male black artist to chart at number one on Billboard's Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts at the same time; Beyoncé had previously become the first black artist to do so with "Texas Hold 'Em".[8] The song also made Shaboozey the first male black artist to chart at number one on Billboard's Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts at the same time. In addition, it spent seven weeks at number one on the latter chart, surpassing the record for the longest-running number one debut single previously set by Carrie Underwood's "Jesus, Take the Wheel", which spent six weeks at the top in January–February 2006.[9]
