In the 87^th edition of Bangerz N Bopz 🔥 (2025), we break down “Outside Dog” performed by Gavin Adcock.

“You wanted something to save, you wanted something to tame / You wanted me to come running when you called my name.” Oh, snap, Gavin Adcock! The country singer adds in the first verse of “Outside Dog”, “Ever since you laid eyes on me / You’ve been barking up the wrong damn tree.” So, to be clear, we’re not actually talking about a dog, are we? “Outside Dog” is the second track from Adcock’s 2025 album, Own Worst Enemy. Chase McGill, Josh Thompson, and Matt Dragstrem penned this dog-driven joint. Jay Rogers produced it. A strong vocal performance, memorable lyrics, tuneful melodies, and a countrified sound make “Outside Dog” an engaging listening experience.

In the first verse, Gavin Adcock sets the tone.  This girl wanted to change and control him. He wasn’t having it! Continuing the dog references, in the second verse, Adcock asserts, “I’m born to howl at the moon, you know I need me some room / For chasing me all night and then sleeping ‘till noon / Gonna do what I do girl.”  This dog, rather, man, can’t be tamed!  In the centerpiece, the chorus, he makes it clear she’ll be disappointed with him.

“Girl, I don’t guess I can blame you for trying

To fence me in, but that’s your fault

Hell, you brought in this outside dog

This outside dog.”

Woo! Ultimately, Gavin Adcock shines, embracing his rough-around-the-edges persona on “Outside Dog”.  He sings expressively, showing off the country twang loud and proud.  This dog owner must understand what she’s getting herself into 😜!
