"H.O.L.Y." is a song recorded by American country music duo Florida Georgia Line. It is the lead single from the duo's upcoming third studio album Dig Your Roots, scheduled for release in August 2016. The song was written by Busbee, Nate Cyphert, and William Wiik Larsen. The title is an acronym for "High On Loving You".

Critical reception

Jon Freeman of Rolling Stone commented positively on the song, applauding the group's musical evolution; though he did note caution regarding the song's Christian themes, saying "It's hard not to wonder if the FGL guys — both of whom have publicly proclaimed their faith on numerous occasions — will get some flak from religious listeners the way Morris has for "My Church" and its perceived shunning of organized worship. Controversies like that have on occasion."[1]

The song was listed on Spotify's list of Picks of the Week.[2]

Commercial performance

The song debuted with 125,000 copies sold in the US in its debut week, propelling the song to No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart.[3]

Music video

The music video was directed by TK McKamy and filmed at The Twelve Apostles in Melbourne, Australia.[4]
