According to Jamey Johnson, who co-wrote the song with Dallas Davidson and Randy Houser, said the idea for “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk” came when Johnson and Davidson and Houser were watching a young woman dancing at a club. Randy Houser saw the woman as well, and came up with the title “honky tonk badonkadonk,” in reference to the slang term “badonkadonk,” which references shapely buttocks. Within an hour, the three had written the song.

Song co-writers told CMT: “We were drinking over at the Wildhorse Saloon one night. We were watching this girl dance on the dance floor. She was kind of a healthy girl – looked like somebody had shoved a refrigerator in her pants. We were drinking, but she was drunk. She was done. She was bouncing into people and running folks over and causing a ruckus. We thought it was funny, but Randy looked out there and saw that butt of hers and said, ‘Badonkadonk.’ Right after that, he said ‘Honky Tonk Badonkadonk.’ Me and Dallas were just so proud to have another word that rhymed with ‘Honky Tonk” we didn’t know what to do. We wrote that song in about an hour and spent 30 minutes of that laughing."

According to Chesney, this is a “classy booty call song,”. He explained to CMT News: “We’ve all been in those situations when we know we’re not going to [continue to] be with that person we have been with for a while. The relationship is over, done, run its course. But you aren’t really ready to move onto somebody else emotionally, mentally or physically. So what do we do? We ‘come over.’ (Holds hand up to ear), ‘I know you hate me and I hate you too … but come over! We don’t have to fix each other, so come over.’ We know we’re screwed up. So we took that situation and made the video. It’s a very sexy video.”
