"The Outsiders" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Eric Church.

[2] Church performed the song at the 2013 telecast of the Country Music Association awards.

[3] Giving it 3.5 stars out of 5, Will Hermes of Rolling Stone wrote that "doubles down on his hard-rock/hip-hop fixations with a song that opens on an unfuckwithable snarl-rap, ramps into a high-lonesome stadium chorus over a Southern-rock stomp, then feigns a Black Keys garage skronk before barreling into a prog-metal capper.

"[4] It received 4.5 stars from Matt Bjorke of Roughstock, who wrote that it was "musically interesting" and that it should "give Eric Church enough of a buzzworthy launching point for his upcoming 2014 album".

[5] On its first week, the song debuted (and peaked) on the Country Airplay chart at No.
