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.

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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a perfect night to go for a ride
Stars are lined up for you and I
I know, I know you got a boyfriend but so
Don't tell him girl and he'll never know
I'll be there at five, baby, be ready to go
Oh,oh,oh, come on take a ride with me
Oh,oh,oh, I promise you a hell of a ride
'Cause I got a motorcycle tonight
I won't crash and I promise not to drive too fast
I'll be sure the ride is smooth on your ass
No time to waste, girl this night won't last
'Cause oh,oh,oh, I got a motorcycle baby
Oh,oh,oh, come on take a ride with me

The song Motorcycle by Kip Moore is a classic rock & roll love song about taking his girl on a thrilling ride on his motorcycle. The song starts by painting a picture-perfect image of a starry night, an ideal night for a motorcycle ride. The singer is asking the girl to take a ride with him despite her having a boyfriend. He promises that her boyfriend won't know and will be back before anyone notices. The chorus is catchy and repeats the idea that he owns a motorcycle and wants to take her on a ride that she will never forget.
The second verse promises a safe ride and a comfortable journey where she can sit back and enjoy the ride. The song continues to describe how he wants her to wrap her legs around him tightly as they hit the road. The final chorus follows the same lyrics as the first, and the song ends.
Overall, the song is a fun, upbeat, and exciting love song about taking risks and living in the moment.
