Toby Keith - How Do You Like Me Now! REACTION!

[@lukemilam918]

Toby got released from his label and wrote this song as his FU for not believing in him

[@seanscanlon9067]

Not trying to be a dick here but that's partly true and the whole album was recorded (including this song) but his then recorded company only liked a couple of the tracks from it which did not include this one. He then recorded a few more songs but they were still not happy, so he asked to have his contract cancelled and be released and bought the rights to the album to take with him to a new record company.

[@dole8001]

He had to buy the rights to his own songs

[@cindyrafn3438]

Amen to that!

[@bz6046]

@@dole8001 most musicians don't own their own song rights. That's why certain songs end up on crappy comercials

Great point

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

@@larrydlam Revenge songs were around long before her lol.

[@lilykep]

Last I checked "revenge" songs required someone being done wrong first? She didn't cheat on him she just didn't wanna date him, SOMETHING SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO DO. He asked her out, she said no, and his response to "get her attention" was to write her number on the 50yrd line saying Call for a Good Time? If anyone deserves revenge it's her.

This song was written to trash his original label that released him because his music was..."to progressive ". How Do you like me now!!!

[@XanderHarris1023]

Jacob Cordes Toby Keith being a progressive is a joke. I guess that depends on how you define progressive.

[@hunterhasting2304]

Jacob Cordes what does progressive mean

[@hudsonsteele1674]

@@XanderHarris1023 I think they meant he had progressed too far in his style to fit into their country music label. Edit: Or maybe even into country music. Country music didn't used to sound like this.

[@prboy3825]

I am watching this after Toby passed away he was such a a pioneer and if you love country music and your country you was a fan of his

[@moms2398]

I would love to see you react to "I wanna talk about me!" BTW: A little trivia: "How Do You Like Me Now" has a double meaning. It was the first song off an album with a new label where he had had more control. Record execa told him he'd never last doing this kind of music because he'd turn off female listeners and guys follow ladies to concerts. They were wrong! Women love Toby's music because a lot of it is what WE think giys think! So "How Do You Like Me Now" was also a question to fans on the new sound...different from "Blue Moon" and "Shoulda Been A Cowboy".

[@thegreenranger4703]

Should’ve Been a Cowboy still his best song to this day.

[@amandadenney6482]

She basically wouldn't give him the time of day and thought she was too good for him. He's basically saying, "look at me know".

[@heatherlowe7330]

What's funny is that "Skater Boy" is like the answer to this 🤣

[@kendramalotka9850]

Close! Toby wrote this after his record label released him and brushed him off soo he was literally like "How do you like me now?"

[@katangel115]

He wrote her number for the entire school to see and said to call it for a good time as if she was a prostitute so yeah, she was pissed at him

[@Vales55]

Has anyone else ever noticed the guitar notes sound like they're saying "nanny nanny boo boo" towards the end of the song? You can hear it clearly around 6:35 in this video.

[@melmao5730]

Vales55 I will never unhear that now 😂😂

[@sparkynea]

Yup, I so wanted him to notice it but he was talking over it, not his fault, but it’s great!! How many times would we love to do that to someone in our lives?!?

[@johntucker4296]

4:50 "I wish that I had this in me." Exactly. This song represents what 99.99% of us don't or don't bother to do. What I like best is that he does it with a smile.

[@gta2281]

This song is one of a handful that got me into country music 21 years ago. It IS the ultimate flex song. Whether you ever pull that move on anyone or not, most of us have someone or someone's we'd love to flex on and that makes this song incredibly relatable. Also the music is just awesome. Loved this reaction Billy and i'm happy you're living your dream man.

[@eriklehman5782]

I remember when Toby was on a talk show and a fan asked him to play this song for a girl who snubbed him before he scored the winning point in the big game and then tried coming onto him lol

[@natl5692]

"I wanna talk about me" is one of the most fun song ever

[@bigjay123]

He said "Your clock radio goes off, You hear ME sanging."

[@anessalyn1035]

His videos are fun. Check out Toby Keith's I wanna talk about me

[@troyhayes8790]

Yes! Exactly! He wrote this song about the record company who dropped him. Then he went on to be a superstar. Then started his own record company.

Are we going to ignore the fact that at 4:29 he drank from a RED SOLO CUP. Toby Keith fans will get this

[@noudontnome]

My Toby Keith story. I was a casino dealer and he was having a show where I worked. After the show, he comes into higher limits room and sat at my table. I was like that table(not mine) is reserved for you and he said "Well I got good feeling about you, I'll play here if you don't mind" When I tell you we had a ball on my game that night, it's an understatement! He really didn't believe I was a fan and asked to sing my favorite song of his. Of course I started singing this and he along with the others with him sang with me!! He was a great guy and we talked and joke like old friends. As he was leaving, he left a nice tip and sang little less talk! He made my night! To think, I wasn't even gonna go to work that night!!

[@AC-gb7do]

He’s not being a “Petty Betty” IMO. Keith discussed the inspiration for the song on his website in 2000. "Initially, I said, 'Here's my title: "You Never Loved Me Before, So How Do You Like Me Now?” It's one of my catch-phrases. A lot of people become successful after they've been told they won't ever be, so people can relate to this. It can be about an old flame or a boss or a teacher -whatever it means to each individual. It was a fun song to write.”

[@AllenMS828]

This is my favorite song of his. I love how the music at the end is taunting, like "nanny nanny boo boo". Another song in a similar vein that you might like is "You Broke Up with Me," by Walker Hayes. Even though the lyrics are addressed to a woman who broke up with him and wants to get back together, he said he actually wrote it in response to the people who abandoned him while he was starting out but then tried to come back into his life after his career started taking off.

Let me tell you a little story about a small-town boy in the southern states. Everyone said that he would never leave the state, get married, or have anything. He is now in New Jersey, married to a beautiful woman, and living very comfortably. All without sacrificing who he is. I am here today telling you no matter your background, color of skin, education or anything else the only thing that will hold you back is yourself.

We have to remind the newer generations how we used to wake up to a radio alarm. That was huge from 70's for 30+ years until smartphones gradually eased that out. But, his line is so clever: "The alarm clock starts ringing, who could that be singing? It's me, Baby, with your wake-up call."

This is another zinger song like Avril Lavigne's "Skater Boy". It makes you wonder, if their saying you can't do it is the catalyst for their success. My brother did that to me. I didn't get to go to a university, but I did go to a business college. My brother told me in front of my mother, "you will never finish school". Every time I was tired, frustrated or just not getting it, that conversation played in my head and it would keep me going. I did graduate. Earned an AA degree in accounting. Not glamorous but I did graduate!!! 🎓🏫
