What parents need to know
Parents need to know that "Cruise" is a catchy, chord-driven country song about driving, trucks, and small towns from relative newcomers Florida George Line. The lyrics are clean and there's no iffy content other than one mention of Southern Comfort, but the video shows some girls in their bras as they play a game of strip poker in the back of a pick-up truck. The song itself is OK for tweens and up.
What's the story?
"CRUISE" is the hit single from Florida Georgia Line's second album It'z Just What We Do. The duo, Tyler Hubbard and Bryan Kelley, sing about the ease and excitement of finding a pretty girl and riding through farm towns with your windows down.
Is it any good?
Florida Georgia Line are making a name for themselves with this catchy country tune that celebrates youth, small towns, love, and cruising in a Chevy truck. The content is nothing new, but it's hard not to sing along and bob your head to the bass beats and hand claps as they sing, "Baby you a song, you make me wanna roll my windows down, and cru-uise." This track may not be groundbreaking, but it's one you don't mind hearing over and over again, and it certainly makes you want to jump in the car and head out down the road to anywhere.

I like it.
This song is decent. Not the best, but still good. 3 and a half out of 5 stars.
