From Morgan Wallen to Post Malone: 20 Songs You Didn’t Know HARDY Penned

A look at some of the biggest hits written by Hardy.
Regardless of your thoughts on the quality and style of his output, there’s absolutely no denying that Hardy has quickly become one of the most prolific songwriters in all of Nashville over the past decade. Undoubtedly, he’s had a plethora of successful songs on his own, scoring #1 hits with the likes of 2020’s “ONE BEER” (feat. Lauren Alaina and Devin Dawson) and 2023’s “TRUCK BED.” That’s not even mentioning sleeper hits such as the Lainey Wilson collaboration, “wait in the truck,” and other Top 40 tracks, “Rednecker,” “GIVE HEAVEN SOME HELL” and “Favorite Country Song.”
Of course, the Mississippi native is best-known for being a frequent collaborator with Morgan Wallen, penning hits such as “Up Down,” “Sand in My Boots,” “More Than My Hometown,” “7 Summers” and “I’m A Little Crazy.”
However, he’s also written a plethora of other smash hits for pop country artists, ranging from Florida Georgia Line’s “Simple,” Chris Lane’s infamous “I Don’t Know About You” and Cole Swindell’s “Single Saturday Night” to Blake Shelton’s “God’s Country,” Cody Johnson’s “How Do You Sleep At Night?” and Post Malone and Luke Combs’ “Missin’ You Like This.”
With all that being said, there are plenty of songs that many simply don’t know were written by the “BOOTS” singer, thanks to songwriters being historically underappreciated by the public. Without further ado, here are 20 songs you may not have known were written by Hardy.
