Rucker performed the song live at the 54th Annual Country Music Association Awards, which he co-hosted with Reba McEntire.[2]

Content

Rucker co-wrote the track over video chat with Ross Copperman, J.T. Harding, and Josh Osborne. Copperman also produced the track.[3] The song's title is a play on words for "B.S." which is typically shorthand for bullshit, but Rucker's lyrics suggest "the only B.S. [he] need[s] is beers and sunshine."[4]

Chart performance

The song debuted at No. 24 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, making it Rucker's highest debut to date, surpassing the No. 26 start for "True Believers" in 2012.[5] It also debuted at No. 25 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.[6]

Music video

The music video premiered on November 5, 2020.[7]
