"Crushin' It" is a song recorded by American country music artist Brad Paisley. It was released on January 26, 2015 by Arista Nashville as the third single from his tenth studio album, Moonshine in the Trunk. He co-wrote the song with Kelley Lovelace and Lee Thomas Miller, and co-produced it with Luke Wooten.

The song is about having fun when things have not necessarily been going as intended, drinking a beer and then crushing the can, while also playing on the slang term "crushing it", indicating that one has done an exceptional job. Co-writer Lee Thomas Miller told Nash Country Weekly magazine that Paisley presented the idea in a writing session with him and Kelley Lovelace, and after thinking about the idea, Miller noticed the use of the slang term in everyday conversation with others. Lovelace added that Paisley asked the two, "What else can you do with [beer] cans?", at which point Lovelace added lines about crushing beer cans.

The song is an uptempo country pop song. It opens with the sound of a crushing beer can, followed by an acoustic guitar solo. The song is mainly driven by electric guitar and drums. A fiddle solo after the second chorus preludes to the main guitar solo. After the last chorus, the song extends into fiddle and steel guitar solos, brusquely interrupted by the sound of a crushing beer can.

Deborah Evans Price of Billboard said of the song: "Paisley is here to get the party started and this high-energy number lets the listener know they're in for a good time."

Monta Vaden of All Access Music Group during the song's debut week said, "this track is classic Brad Paisley. Fun, up-tempo, and a perfect way to shake off the cold weather and make you crave a cold beverage. Brad's typical self-deprecating humor shines through...By now, this should be in Medium [rotation]."
