“It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” is a hit country song by Alan Jackson featuring Jimmy Buffett, released on June 2, 2003. It served as the lead single from Jackson’s compilation album, Greatest Hits Volume II.
The song is a “working-man’s anthem” about escaping the stress of a demanding job. The narrator, frustrated by a slow-moving clock and a difficult boss, decides to take an extended lunch break starting at 12:30 PM. He justifies drinking early by noting that “it’s five o’clock somewhere” in the world, referencing the traditional end of the workday.
Scenes were shot at the Square Grouper Bar in Jupiter, Florida, and concert footage was taken from a Jimmy Buffett show at the Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana.
