Barefoot Joe swoons with new single "My Baby Likes To Slow Dance"

Barefoot Joe’s latest single, “My Baby Likes To Slow Dance,” is a heartfelt anthem that proves the timeless truth: life's greatest joys don't cost a thing. All you need is the one you love and a good two-stepping tune. With a down-home charm all his own, Barefoot Joe seamlessly balances wit, warmth, and sincerity.

With perfectly tongue-in-cheek lyrics, he croons,“Gets me feelin’ like a young man again, When my baby takes me by the hand, I pull her in close, As we sway to the pulse of the country band playin’,‘Cause my baby likes to slow dance.”

This song tips its hat to late-night dance halls and the couples who can’t resist one more turn across the hardwood floor. With its easygoing rhythm and heartfelt lyrics, it’s bound to strike a chord with fans of Jon Pardi, Zach Top, and anyone who’s ever felt the magic of a slow dance at just the right moment.

Along with a rich fiddle and a soulful pedal steel, he cheekily sings,“Save a little room for Jesus, but not too much. ’Cause I really want to feel your every touch.”

Recorded at Nashville’s iconic Hilltop Recording Studio, the city’s oldest running studio and a landmark that’s hosted the likes of Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, and countless country legends, the track fuses timeless sounds with Joe’s unmistakable storytelling.

Whether you’re two-stepping under neon lights or slow dancing on the porch, “My Baby Like to Slow Dance” is set to become a staple on country playlists everywhere, and a new favorite in dance halls across America.
