Cole Swindell's “She Had Me at Heads Carolina” took county radio by storm in 2022. Here's how the interpolation of a Jo Dee Messina classic came to be.
,” didn’t leave much impact beyond some harsh reviews, but it did provide Nichols the inspiration for Messina’s breakout hit.“The main character’s name was Texas Jack Carmine,” he said. “The name alone should have tipped me off that book wasn’t going to be great.”
“It just gets your adrenaline going, you know?” Messina said. “It was, ‘It’s me and you against the world.’” At first, Fraser said, the group considered a duet similar to the 1982 Paul McCartney-Michael Jackson song “The Girl is Mine,” where Swindell and Rhett compete for the affections of the girl singing “Heads Carolina” — maybe they could use the coin flip to see who “won” the chance to talk to her. But as they toyed with the idea, they wondered if it would work better as a Swindell solo effort.
“These people in the audience were just screaming it, partly because they’ve heard it before,” Frasure said. “That’s the beauty of an interpolation when it’s done right.” Then she heard from Swindell and his label that he was eager to do another remixed version of “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” that he would sing with her.
