He spent eight years in Nashville before signing a record deal with MCA Nashville. His debut single, "Mary Was the Marrying Kind", peaked at #45 on the country singles charts published by Billboard.
On September 27, 2011, he released his second single, "Somethin' 'Bout a Truck". The song was followed by the release of his debut album Up All Night in April 2012. Moore co-wrote every song on the album, and Brett James produced it. A month later, "Somethin' 'Bout a Truck" hit #1 on the Billboard country charts. "Beer Money" was the album's second single, followed by "Hey Pretty Girl". These songs also reached the country Top 5. Up All Night was the most commercially successful album for a debut country male artist in both 2012 and 2013.
Moore co-wrote two tracks on Thompson Square's self-titled debut album which was released in February 2011: "All the Way" and "Let's Fight", the latter of which was their debut single. He also co-wrote James Wesley's 2012 single "Walking Contradiction". He also co-wrote Frankie Ballard's 2016 single "Cigarette".
In October 2013, Moore announced his fifth single, "Young Love". It charted at #22 on the Country Airplay in March 2014. After it underperformed, it was followed by "Dirt Road", which failed to make Top 40. Moore then decided to "scrap" his second album and compose new material. Moore then released "I'm to Blame", the lead single to his 2015 album, Wild Ones.
On February 10, 2017, Moore released "More Girls Like You" as the lead single from a then-unannounced forthcoming album.
On June 21, 2017, Moore announced the album's title, Slowheart, and its release date of September 8, 2017.
On November 16, 2018, Moore released his second EP titled Room to Spare: The Acoustic Sessions. Three singles were released in preparation for the EP: "Tennessee Boy," an acoustic version of "Plead the Fifth," and "It Ain't California." The EP consists of seven acoustic tracks.
In May 2019, Moore announced on social media "That's a wrap, record #4 is done". No release date had been officially announced, but on June 15 Moore announced he was checking mixes for his upcoming record, indicating the record may be released sometime in 2019.
On August 9, 2019, Moore released a much-anticipated lead single to his yet to be named upcoming album. "She's Mine" is a song Moore wrote over a decade ago, and finally released it in 2019.
On March 27, 2020, Moore released the title track for his fourth studio album titled Wild World. Later that same day, Moore did an interview with Billboard about his new album. The album, which consists of 13 tracks (twelve of which are co-written by Moore), was released on May 29, 2020. Another preview song, "Southpaw", followed on April 17, 2020.
Good Thing
Kip Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got a good thing, I got a good thing
Right there she's something
Smiling through this lazy day
Just a sipping on that milkshake not a bit of makeup on her face
She's fine, yeah she's mine
Got my heart speeding, every time she says my name
I got a good thing, I got a good thing
And I call her baby
I'm seeing blue skies
First time in a long time, right there in her green eyes
It's like the rains gone and she's my rainbow
And I caught this feeling that I can't explain
Got my heart speeding, every time she says my name
I got a good thing, I got a good thing
And I call her baby, yeah
Yeah, I don't know what I did to deserve all of this
She's fine, she's mine
Just one kiss from her lips make me wish that I could stop time
Yeah, the girl is all mine
Hey
Well, if you got my number you can lose it now
You can talk shit, you can put me down
That's all she wrote, ain't blowing smoke
You dig it?
And I caught this feeling that I can't explain
Got my heart speeding, every time she says my name
I got a good thing, I got a good thing
I call her baby
We got a good thing, we got a good thing
She calls me baby
Yeah
She calls me baby, ah
She calls me baby
I call her baby
