"Boys 'Round Here" is a song written by Rhett Akins, Dallas Davidson, and Craig Wiseman and recorded by American country music artist Blake Shelton.

The song is credited to "Blake Shelton with Pistol Annies and Friends", as it features myriad vocal collaborators including the Pistol Annies (Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe, and Angaleena Presley), along with country singer RaeLynn, all three co-writers, and Scott Hendricks, who also produced the track.

It was released in 2013 as the second single from Shelton's seventh studio album, Based on a True Story... "Boys 'Round Here" received polarized reviews for its production style and lyrical content.

It is in the key of A major with an approximate tempo of 84 beats per minute and a chord pattern of A-D. Its verses are largely spoken-word.

So I remember I blurted out 'Well the boys 'round here don't listen to The Beatles/ Run Ol' Bocephus through a jukebox needle at a honky-tonk, where their boots stomp all night,' and then Craig goes, 'That's right,' kind of in celebration of getting the song started".

"[3] Pieces of the demo recorded by Akins, Davidson, and Wiseman were incorporated into the official cut of the song.

"[5] Shelton described his vocal performance on the spoken word segments of the song as "Jerry Reed-type rapping.

"[6] He contrasted this with what he characterized as a more conventional style of rapping that had become popular in country music as a result of Jason Aldean.

It features Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Ronnie Dunn, Miranda Lambert, Reba McEntire, Brad Paisley, Josh Turner, Keith Urban and Hank Williams Jr., each of whom performs part of the "redneck" line.

[10] Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song 4.5 stars out of 5, saying that it "is intentionally silly, but score the singer significant style points for never taking his story too seriously.

"[11] Giving it 4 out of 5 stars, Matt Bjorke of RoughStock compared it favorably to Shelton's previous singles "Ol' Red" and "Playboys of the Southwestern World", saying that "Boys 'Round Here" "took chances" like those songs did.

[3] Writing for Billboard, Chuck Dauphin called the song "a cool ode to Shelton’s ‘homies’ back home in Oklahoma".

"[16] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic considered the rapped portions of the song to be "vaguely embarrassing".

[17] Mikael Wood of the Los Angeles Times dismissed the song as "basically a string of unconnected SEO keywords".

[19] Hendricks identified "Boys 'Round Here" as "probably" his and Shelton's "favorite song" from Based on a True Story...[7] The music video[20] was directed by Trey Fanjoy and premiered in May 2013.
