  This song uses elements of country rap and country rock as well as sexual innuendo to describe a girl handling equipment on a farm (e.g. "Throw it in reverse, let Daddy load it up").
  
  ## Critical reception
  
  Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song a B− grade, stating that he would be "lying if [he] said [he] wasn't disappointed that this isn't a countrified version of the Juvenile hit. Alas, it's just a hillbilly rave-up that finds a country boy trying to get a city girl used to farm life, using backing up a truck as an awkward sexual metaphor" and that Moore "throws himself fully into the lyric like he was Joe Diffie singing a mid-1990s novelty number". In 2017, Billboard contributor Chuck Dauphin put "Back That Thing Up" at number ten on his top 10 list of Moore's best songs.
