Eric Biddines tells the story behind the song to Songs for Whoever:

”‘Down South Boogie’ was one of the last songs we recorded for the album, after we already assumed it was finished. The beat was infectious from the beginning before there was any lyrics or idea meant for it. We both live on the South end of our cities and just representing that with the boogie down funk feel made sense. Definitely one of our favorite records to perform live. The crowd’s reaction as soon as the beat drop is always a gratifying feeling.”
