"Don't Tell Me How to Live" is a song by American singer-songwriter Kid Rock released on November 18, 2021, through Top Dog Records as the lead single from his twelfth studio album, Bad Reputation (2021). It samples the song of the same name by Monster Truck.[1]
Background[edit]
Kid Rock recorded the song with Monster Truck in late 2019, it started after he ranted about Oprah Winfrey at his Nashville bar. He teased the chorus and the first verse in various Instagram live streams, and shared a snippet on January 17, 2021 on his birthday, Before he played the song at the party he stated that he was "sick of the snowflakes going after people for no reason".[2]
In the third verse he makes references to Rev Run, David Lee Roth, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Brad Pitt comparing himself to them (personality wise).[3]
Music Video[edit]
The video starts out with Kid Rock standing in front of a TV display showing news reports of himself regarding his controversial statements towards Oprah Winfrey, Joy Behar, Al Sharpton, and the time when he called people filming his performance at a private party in Tennessee "faggots". He then is seen outside his Tennessee Double Wide with his cars and motorcycles while Monster Truck is standing. During the turntable/guitar solo, Kid Rock is seen flying on a middle finger statue called the "Kid Rocket". The video uses a lot of green screen effects.[4]
Reception[edit]
Upon release of the single most people thought it was a "Weird Al" Yankovic parody. After receiving tweets praising him for the parody, Weird Al then tweeted back confirming that he had no involvement.[5]
