"Denim on Denim" is a song recorded by Canadian country artist Tebey. He co-wrote the song with Kylie Sackley and Matt Rogers.[1] It was the lead single off Tebey's second extended play Love a Girl,[2] and his debut single to radio in the United Kingdom.[3][4]

Background[]

Tebey remarked that co-writer Nathan Spicer came up with the keyboard synthesizer sound for the opening of the track, and other co-writer Kelly Archer came up with the title "Denim on Denim". He initially did not want to write the song because he felt it was lacking a concept. After the three discussed it, they came up with the full idea and wrote the entire song.[5] He said the song is "just one of those records that I didn’t know what the response was gonna be because it’s quite progressive".[6] He said he was "very nervous" about releasing the song to country radio, and that it was "awesome" to see both the radio and fans embrace the song.[5]
