Brooks & Dunn's music covers the full range of modern country music, and their chart-topping hits have included everything from the Ronan Keating-penned ballad "The Long Goodbye," through the Rivers Rutherford-written "Ain't Nothing About You," to the gospel music-influenced "Believe." They are also associated with being pioneers of the line dance craze of the mid-1990s. One of their hits, "Boot Scootin' Boogie" - the video for which was made in Tulsa, Oklahoma - is most emblematic of this style.
Both band members write, sing, and play guitar. One or both artists writes or co-writes a large majority of their material, and self-penned successes include the 2004 smash "Red Dirt Road" which the duo wrote together. Both artists have served as song-writers for other artists too. Ronnie Dunn co-wrote country superstar Toby Keith's song "Don't Leave I Think I Love You" which appeared on his 2003 album Shock'n Y'all. Dunn's vocal performances have tended to be released as radio singles: recent hits "You Can't Take the Honkytonk Out of The Girl," "Red Dirt Road," "It's Getting Better All The Time," "That's What It's All About," "Play Something Country," and "Believe" all feature Ronnie Dunn singing lead vocals.
Brooks & Dunn are renowned for their high-energy stage shows. Recent tours have featured Australian country singer Keith Urban, fellow duo Montgomery Gentry, and successful country newcomer Gretchen Wilson. Their latest Deuces Wild tour of 2005 featured fellow country duo Big and Rich. In 2006, the duo opened for the Rolling Stones at their Omaha, Nebraska show.
The duo's songs have been used by President George W Bush as his official campaign songs in both his election and re-election campaigns. In 2000, the then Texas Governor chose the blue-collar line-dance-friending hit of the mid-1990s, "Hard Workin' Man," and in 2004, the President selected the (pre-9/11) hit patriotic "Only in America." Brooks & Dunn both supported the President's re-election campaign, performing at a Republican rally featuring Laura Bush on the eve of the election.
Their latest album is Hillbilly Deluxe which features the number 1 single "Play Something Country."
On August 10, 2009, the duo issued a statement on their website announcing that they were splitting up after 20 years of making music together. The split was amicable, with a final album in September 2009 and a final tour in 2010.
On December 3, 2014, it was announced that Brooks & Dunn will reunite and perform a series of concerts in Las Vegas, Nevada with Reba McEntire throughout mid-late 2015. In 2016, they were selected as one of 30 artists to perform on "Forever Country", a mash-up track featuring the artists performing a medley of "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "On the Road Again", and "I Will Always Love You", which was released in celebration of 50 years of the CMA Awards.
Ain't Nothing 'Bout You
Brooks & Dunn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never knew that I could feel this much
But this yearning in the deep part of my heart for you
Is more than a reaction to your touch
It's a perfect passion and I can't get enough
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
The way you kiss, the way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There ain't nothing 'bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
In my life I've been hammered by some heavy blows
That never knocked me off my feet
All you gotta do is smile at me and down I go
And baby it's no mystery why I surrender
Girl you got everything
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing 'bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, the way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There ain't nothing 'bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
I love your attitude, your rose tattoo, your every thought
Your smile, your lips and girl the list goes on and on and on
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
There ain't nothing 'bout you that don't do something for me
The way you kiss, the way you cry,
The way you move when you walk by
There ain't nothing 'bout you (there ain't nothing bout you)
That don't do something for me
The way you look, the way you laugh,
The way you love with all you have,
Your dance, your drive, you make me feel alive
The way you talk, the way you tease
By now I think you see
There ain't nothing 'bout you that don't do something for me
The song "Ain't Nothing 'Bout You" by Brooks & Dunn is a track that reveals the singer's feelings for his romantic partner. The lyrics describe how the singer once thought that he could never experience love, but now he yearns for his partner to the point where it's "a perfect passion" he can't get enough of. The way his partner looks, laughs, and loves with all she has, there's nothing about her that doesn't do something for him. He's completely enamored with her from the way she kisses, cries, and walks, and everything in between.
The line "In my life I've been hammered by some heavy blows that never knocked me off my feet" suggests that the singer has faced challenges in his life but has remained resilient. However, he still finds himself easily swayed by his partner's smile. He considers her a natural mystery and concedes that she has everything he could ever want.
The chorus repeats several times, emphasizing the singer's admiration and attraction for his partner. He loves everything about her, from her attitude to her rose tattoo, and believes that she makes him feel alive.
Overall, "Ain't Nothing 'Bout You" expresses a passionate and all-consuming love that the singer has for his partner. He's completely taken by her, and there's nothing about her that doesn't drive him crazy with desire.

Once I thought that love was something I could never do

Never knew that I could feel this much
I was unaware that it was possible to feel such intense emotions

Is more than a reaction to your touch
This feeling is not just a physical response to your touch
It's a perfect passion and I can't get enough

Your physical appearance and laugh
The way you love with all you have,
The way you love wholeheartedly

And baby it's no mystery why I surrender
It's not a secret why I easily give in to you
Girl you got everything
You possess everything that I could ever want in a partner

I believe you understand by now
There ain't nothing 'bout you that don't do something for me
Every aspect of who you are makes an impact on me in the most wonderful way possible
