"5-1-5-0" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Dierks Bentley. It was released in April 2012 as the third single from his 2012 album Home. The song was written by Bentley, Brett Beavers, and Jim Beavers.
Background and writing
Co-writer Jim Beavers told Taste of Country that the idea for "5-1-5-0" came about when Bentley and he were discussing Van Halen's album 5150. Beavers said that he changed the pronunciation from "fifty-one-fifty" to "five-one-five-oh", and rhymed it with "somebody call the po-po" after seeing a police car.{{cite web|url=http://tasteofcountry.com/dierks-bentley-5-1-5-0-lyrics/|title=Dierks Bentley, '5-1-5-0′ – Lyrics Uncovered|last=Conaway|first=Alanna|date=1 April 2012|work=Taste of Country|access-date=13 May 2012}}

The title is a reference to the 5150 "involuntary psychiatric hold" in the California Welfare and Institutions Code.
