Hell on Heels

All three wrote it, and each takes a verse before the voices blend. The single came out on June 12, 2011 per the album infobox, though its lead text says May, and reached 55 on the Hot 100 and platinum. Paste describes three gold diggers boasting about their conquests; Country Music Pride calls it a gluttonous boasting of the acquisition of assets by gold-digging, high-heeled hellions and the opening a long, sultry bugle call to attention; Holler says the characters made a deal with the devil to be both pretty and smart, leaving a trail of sugar daddies, and calls it a stompingly good mission statement. Lambert told Holler we say things in our music that women all across the country are thinking. We found no interview explaining the song specifically.

Becky Fluke directed the video, concert footage and staged theatrics with a grainy aged-film look, and Taste of Country said she does a nice job making the most of what is no doubt a bare-bones budget; it was nominated for the 2012 CMT Awards for Group Video and Breakthrough Video. Setlist.fm shows it as their most-played song, eight times; at the House of Blues in Las Vegas on December 3, 2011 it was song 17, closing the main set before the encore. We found no covers or samples.
