"She's Country" is a song written by Danny Myrick and Bridgette Tatum and recorded by American country music artist Jason Aldean. It was released in December 2008 as the lead-off single from his album Wide Open and the seventh one of his career. This song is used in the Rock Band Country Track Pack, and has been confirmed as upcoming downloadable content for the Rock Band series.

This song is a moderate up-tempo featuring accompaniment from electric guitar. The verses outline various females from various rural places in the United States. Each is described as being "country" in nature "from her cowboy boots to her down home roots".

According to Country Weekly magazine, songwriter Bridgette Tatum got together with fellow songwriter Danny Myrick after thinking of a groove "that she didn't want to forget." They were thinking of several lyrics until Myrick added a guitar riff, and they thought of the title, "She's Country." When Myrick and Tatum finished the song, they recommended the song to Aldean.

Pierce Greenberg of Engine 145 gave the song a thumbs-down rating. He described it as having "dumbed-down lyrics and amped-up, rock-based production", in addition to saying that it was a "step backwards" from his previous singles such as "Laughed Until We Cried". Blake Boldt of Country Universe gave it a C- rating, saying that its lyrics were "cliché-laden" and sexist because of the oversimplified terms used to describe the women.

Aldean debuted the song in November 2008 at the Country Music Association awards shortly before its release as a single. Footage of the live performance was used as the song's music video. A second music video, based on the studio version of the song, was released in February 2009, and Jason Aldean returned to Wes Edwards, who directed his first four music videos to direct this music video. This music video shows Jason Aldean at his concerts, and during his touring. The video was voted number 35 on GAC's Top 50 Videos of the Year.
