"Just Gettin' Started"
Song

"Just Gettin' Started" is a song written by Chris DeStefano, Rhett Akins and Ashley Gorley and recorded by American country music artist Jason Aldean. It was released in November 2014 as the second single from his sixth studio album, Old Boots, New Dirt.

Critical reception

Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe rated the song a "D", calling it "Competently performed. Creatively stagnant. Completely unnecessary."[1] A review from Taste of Country was more favorable, stating that "Jason Aldean’s ‘Just Gettin’ Started’ returns to what fans have come to count on from the Georgia-born country rocker. Hard-charging, guitar-drenched songs about love in the fast lane earned him a fine reputation. This latest cut builds on his legacy."[2]

Music video

The music video premiered in February 2015. It consists of live footage from the 2014 American Country Countdown Awards Show which was directed by Joe DeMaio.
