"Half of Me" is a song by American country music singers Thomas Rhett and Riley Green. It was released on June 6, 2022, as the second single from Rhett's sixth studio album Where We Started.
Rhett wrote the song while on tour. He co-wrote it with his father Rhett Akins, as well as Will Bundy and Josh Thompson. According to CMT, Thompson came up with the song's hook "half of me wants a cold beer / And the other half does too" while in a conversation with Rhett. They wrote the song in about half an hour. After it was completed, Rhett suggested adding Riley Green as a duet partner, because the two had become friends after hunting together.[1]
The song is about a man who wants to consume alcohol instead of tending to his everyday chores. Carena Liptak of Taste of Country compared the song's sound to the country music of the 1990s.[2]
