Content

"Stay Downtown" was written by Matt Dragstrem and Cole Taylor, thus becoming the first single in Swindell's career that he did not co-write. He said that he chose to record the song because he wanted to show support for those writers, after noticing that they had written for other artists.[1] The song is about pleading with an-ex lover, and the conflict that he feels upon insisting that she "stay downtown" instead of visit him.[2] Of the content, an uncredited Taste of Country article said that the song has "slick, pop-friendly production" and "relies on Swindell to play the tortured heart".[3]
